Worked on paeds ICU for years, it's not illegal for families to take the bodies of their child home before the funeral (barring any legal PM,s or inquests) and our bereavement team would help with this, providing cold cots/beds. but most families once they hear what it involves elect for them to go to the funeral home and just home the day before the funeral.
Not sure if they will open an inquest because child death grieving mother blah blah. but I would hope they do because her constantly changing story of how she found him is a massive red flag in child safeguarding.

There is no legal requirement to use a funeral director in the UK. The only legal requirements are that a death is registered within 6 days of death (or 6 days of the coroner 's release) & that it is then disposed of lawfully. The registrar issues a disposal certificate at the same time as they issue the death certificate, a portion of which is then returned to the registrar by the crematorium/cemetery after the disposal has taken place.

If families so wish the person who registered the death can simply collect the body from the mortuary themselves (in a suitable container -most bring a coffin with them) , make the necessary arrangements direct with the crematorium or cemetery while keeping the body at home & on the arranged day/time take the coffin to the funeral themselves in whatever vehicle the coffin will fit into.

The vast majority of people don't do this, but it's perfectly possible & legal to do so.

Many people do though choose to have the deceased taken into their home by the funeral director (usually in an open coffin) to "rest" for a few hours, overnight or for a couple of days prior to the funeral. Again - perfectly legal and actually relatively common still among certain communities.

I expect Hollie will do it this way (possibly burial rather than crem, more ostentatious) but it’s not the only option- my Welsh friend is buried in his mam’s field. Wicker coffin was laid out in the dining room.

They had to jump through some admin hoops to get permission to use their own land but it wasn’t particularly difficult nor expensive.

Obvs Hollie can’t bury Archie in a council house backyard. Those gardens are tiny.

Taking the deceased home is not a new thing if you check out the channel Ask A Mortician she discusses things such as that. In the past it was not abnormal to have a recently deceased body in state in the home for a few days. Can completely understand people who want their wake with their deceased to be in a non institutionalized setting.

In the sesne of Hollie though it be weekend at bernies all the way.[/MEDIA]

Apparently the date for switch off is Monday… of course she’s still being dramatic and using words like ‘execute’

I think anyone can do it on their own land. Something about water tables and making sure the remains don’t pose a health risk, but otherwise crack on.

If Hollie’s house is council she’d need their permission it’s not land owned by her.

Anyway it’s too private- she’ll go for one of those big ostentatious gravestones or mausoleum with a topless photo engraved onto the stone, where everyone can see it and visit it.

I just read this elsewhere. It sounds awful, but it's what a lot of people were hoping for - for Archie's sake. He needs to be laid to rest. I just hope there isn't any protests, or worse, at the hospital. I can't see her letting it happen quietly.
