Without Notice Officials Remove Her 4 Year Olds Grave Stone. When I Heard Their Reason. Disgusted Max Corbett-Gardner was only 4 years old when he died from complications from epilepsy. In memory of their sons short life, Jo Corbett-Weeks saved up more than four grand to design a unique gravestone for her baby boy. The stone featured a teddy bear holding a star, and Jo was sure it would have been just what her son wanted. So you can imagine her despair when she learned that the council chiefs had removed the headstone with out telling her. It would have been Maxs seventh birthday on the Sunday, and this was like a birthday present to him from me, Corbett-Weeks told BBC. The stone was removed after another family complained about it. Corbett-Weeks was not notified. I was totally unaware this was going on, she continued. The council did not contact me and it was the stonemason who told me hed been ordered to remove itWe have been through so much as a family. I could understand if the grave was uncared for or unsightly, but it isnt.We just want to have somewhere to grieve. What do you think? Does the council need to return the stone immediately?
