NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde apologises after error meant one family had no remains at a funeral
An investigation has been launched by a Glasgow hospital after an error led to the wrong body being cremated.
The mistaken release of the body by the hospital to the undertakers was only discovered after the funeral service and the cremation had taken place.
The error also meant another family were prevented from having their relative’s remains at their funeral.
NHS bosses have apologised to the two families affected by the mistake at Queen Elizabeth university hospital in Glasgow, the largest hospital in Scotland.
