Man mistakenly buried in somebody else’s plot

A family had to exhume the remains of a lovedone after a blunder by Wexford Borough Council on a graveyard map more than 20 years ago.

The council mistakenly sold somebody else’s grave to the family of Seán Miskella.

His relatives looked on in horror on Monday as gravediggers at Crosstown cemetery, Co Wexford, dug up the casket holding Mr Miskella’s ashes before burying it in a new plot.
