B.C. Supreme Court has been asked to resolve a dispute over a niche containing cremated remains in Surrey cemetery.

Mei Chiu in 2013 purchased the interment rights to the lawn niche from Arbor Memorial .

In 2017 , Wing Chuen Chan bought a similar spot, also in Golden View Garden , and after Chan died in 2022 , he was “incorrectly interred” in Chiu ’s niche.

The cemetery said the mistake happened when staff members used an incorrect map to locate the niche.
