Barry Pritchard, who owns the funeral firm, said: "We couldn't believe that someone would steal from somewhere like this.

"We put the baskets up to make the place look nice for families visiting their loved ones here and then someone decides to do this.

"This is a place where people are at rest, it is a chapel of rest. It's shocked us."

Anyone with information should call Derbyshire Police on 101.
