A daughter who buried her father in an illegal woodland pagan funeral and failed to register his death has avoided jail.
Eirys Brett, 31, and her partner Mark Watson, 46, buried Donald Brett in a secret countryside grave after he died from natural causes.
Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard that frail Mr Brett made last requests that he wanted to be buried in woods in a medieval non-Christian style near his farmhouse home, in Aberedw, near Builth Wells.
Mr Brett was believed to be 78 or recently turned 79 at the time of his death.
He was last seen alive in June 2019, although his body was not discovered for two years.
Brett and Watson were arrested after authorities grew suspicious about Mr Brett’s whereabouts. The pair told officers where they had buried him, and said he had died from natural causes.
