   Thank you for this. But there is a big difference between this and the   
   Princess Diana case. In the latter, the causes and circumstances of   
   death, known to be violent, had not been established at the time the   
   burial order was issued (and have still not been established) - so   
   surely the coroner would have to know (if not then, then assuredly   
   later) where the body was buried, so as to be able to issue an   
   exhumation order if necessary. Often in such cases a burial order is not   
   issued, but surely when it is issued and a burial takes place, the   
   coroner is not supposed to ring round all the areas in the country to   
   find out where the burial took place, if he wants to issue an exhumation   
   order. It is of course unfortunate that John Burton is not still alive.
