A world-renowned exhumer set to remove bodies from graves ‘under water’ at Ayr Cemetery believes his work can end families’ suffering.
Peter Mitchell says he will treat each of the deceased as if they were his own as he made a heartfelt promise to carry out the unique works with ‘respect and care’.
The chief exhumer will bring more than 35 years of experience to the job when he begins to exhume 126 bodies from the extension of South Ayrshire's largest burial ground.
