Single Exhumation

Single exhumations are often taken in the course of police work or to facilitate repatriations at the behest of the next of kin.

Phoenix Exhumations are experience at ensuring that a thorough and respectful exhumation is undertaken relevant to the circumstances.One such case was that of Father Lester, a Jesuit priest who founded Campion House, an educational retreat for Jesuit missionaries.

On his death in 1934 he was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery only to exhumed and reburied with the grounds of Campion House in 1938.When Campion House closed in 2004 our exhumation team were called in to exhume Father Lester so that he could make the journey back to Kensal Green and what we hope will be his final resting place.
