Valerie Millington – along with dozens of others – have been forced to 'mow the lawns and empty the bins' themselves at a Wolverhampton cemetery that went into administration.
Essington Cemetery, off Bursnips Road, Wolverhampton has been branded a 'complete mess' prompting people whose loved ones lie there to plan a meeting and discuss what to do.
75-year-old Valerie from Willenhall lost her husband, Ivan Arthur Millington, to prostate cancer at the age of 82. She bought the plot for Ivan in April 2022.
She said although her husbands ashes are there, the condition of the cemetery is 'that much of a mess' that she does not want to go there.
