Cutbacks within State agencies and poor oversight of funeral disposal contracts created the conditions that led to the scheduled mass burial of 56 bodies at the Cumuto Cemetery last month.
The bodies included 50 infants and six adults.
This was stated by Simpson’s Memorial Ltd managing director David Simpson during a telephone interview on Friday, May 8.
