I'm A Celeb star 'broke law by placing ashes of dead dogs in owners coffins'

Richard Coles 'broke the law' by placing pets ashes in owners' coffins

Vicar Richard Coles admitted placing pets' ashes in parishioners' coffins during his 2011–2022 ministry, breaching UK rules on separate jurisdictions for human and animal remains. No prosecution follows; the case surfaces a common informal clerical practice of extending pastoral mercy over burial doctrine.
