Council fines mourners who overstay at crematorium

North Devon Crematorium in Barnstaple has been fining mourners who take more than 40 minutes to say goodbye to their loved ones. Apparently they introduced the fine in April, and have been rigorously enforcing it.

Funeral directors have been paying the fine on behalf of their clients, but say it's simply not fair. And it's not the first time that mourners have fallen foul of insensitive authorities.
