Hi James,

You don't give an indication of the time span, but I assume it must be
20th-century, and I would have thought that an exhumation was very unlikely
in the circumstances.
However if you mean that the stillborn was buried separately, but in the
same grave - rather than in the same coffin - then yes, very probably.

There is a stillborn in my grandfathers grave, as my parents first child was
stillborn I have always assumed that this is theirs, but following this
thread I am not so sure that it is the one.
I have the undertakers receipt for the burial of £3.25. Is it likely that
they would have reopened a grave to bury a stillborn and only charged such a
small amount?
