Family Feud: The Unseemly Delay in Burying a Mother's Body A recent court case involving Laura Collins' family has highlighted the breakdowns that can occur within families when it comes to matters of death and inheritance.
For nearly four years, Collins' body lay unburied in an undertaker's drawer due to a bitter dispute between her children over who should have control of her estate.
Collins, a mother of five who died after contracting Covid in 2022, left behind no will, making it difficult for her family to navigate the complex web of inheritance laws.
