Dear Freedom of Information,
What If I Was To Tell You That I Have Written Proof From The Western Australian Health Department Did Just That To 3 Of My Family Members. Also The Second Lot Of Human Remains That Have Been Cremated For The Same Family Member.
Is This Practice Still Taking Place Without Family Being Informed That It’s Been Done Without Their Consent.
