A national inspector should be created for crematoriums, an inquiry has concluded after bereaved parents failed to receive their babies' ashes.
At least 60 families are believed to have been affected by failures at Shrewsbury's Emstrey crematorium between 1996 and 2012.
The Shropshire Council-commissioned report said poor training and out-of-date equipment were mainly to blame.
There have been similar problems at other crematoriums.
David Jenkins, who led the independent inquiry, said staff told him they were not aware babies' ashes could be recovered from the cremators.
Some said training did not cover the possibility of manually overriding the equipment, which the manufacturer have said would have provided infant ashes.
