TRIGGER WARNING: This episode centres around the experiences of grieving parents and baby-loss.
In the summer of 2025, the BBC published a news story that broke the hearts of parents around the country. Two families had discovered the bodies of their babies, in the home of a funeral director.
These parents have now bravely spoken out to try to help change regulations in the UK and question why anyone, without education or training, can open a funeral home.
We also look back at a case that broke in 2012, which impacted hundreds of parents, who learnt the truth about where their babies ashes were and what was done to ensure this couldn't happen again in Scotland.
This is Grave Concerns.
