A devastated mother has been left 'insulted' after her baby's headstone was removed from a graveyard. Thornhill Cemetery in Cardiff has confirmed they took down the memorial put in place for little Aiden Gupta because it breached height restrictions.
Mrs Tra, a health care support worker at Heath Hospital gave birth to Aidan on May 16 who was tragically born with a defect in his diaphragm and fluid in his lungs passed away from his illness on June 12. She and Ankit Gupta organised for a headstone to be placed at their son's grave but three months later the cemetery abolished the memorial because they said it exceeded maximum height in the babies section.
Wales Online reports the insensitive decision has "hurt and upset" the family, as the 38 year old mother added: "It was not harming anyone, it doesn't make sense. People should be able to freely order whatever they want. It's a cemetery and everyone wants to remember in a different way."
