Son leapt into mum's grave after coffin 'dropped in head first during burial'

Doris Londsale, 75, was being laid to rest at Stapenhill Cemetery when horrified ones witnessed her coffin being dropped - an incident the funeral director claims has never happened before in 21 years of operation.

According to Birmingham Live, son Darren Clarke had turned away as he was too upset to watch his mother being lowered down, but looked up when he heard gasps from those around him.
