‘We didn’t get a funeral — just an envelope to the door’ - Family receive son’s remains in envelope

Cormac O'Keeffe speaks to a Wicklow couple whose nightmare was only beginning when they travelled to England for an induced delivery after their son was diagnosed with a fatal foetal abnormality.  

Days after their loss, while they were still reeling from grief, Gaye and Gerry Edwards received their son’s remains in an envelope.

“Joshua’s remains arrived during the day,” Gerry said, recalling the moment at their Co Wicklow home.
