“Mr Coll will present his findings and share copies of the report with party group leaders on Thursday 18 February after which the report will be made publicly available.
“Council is contacting the families affected to advise that the independent investigation is now complete and a copy of the report is being made available to them, before the report is made publicly available.”
In July, the council apologised to the families who were not allowed into the cemetery.
Up to 30 friends and relatives of Mr Storey were allowed to do so.
