Family's anguish after dad-of-seven buried in the wrong grave away from family plot

The bereaved family of a dad-of-seven who died aged 50 have demanded an apology after he was buried in the wrong grave.

Clive Stephenson's loved ones say they were assured his plot would be next to his mother’s in Handsworth Cemetery, yet he has been buried on the very edge of the vast Birmingham burial ground.

His sisters, Vivienne and Jean Honeyghan, say mourners were unaware of the change until Clive was placed in the ground on the day of his funeral. Then, it was too late to protest, Birmingham Live reports.
