England - dispute over burial deeds

This is a long shot but I am desperate.
My baby girl Meadow passed away in 2014 from a heart condition (hlhs) She was in great ormond street childrens hospital for the 4 months of her life having numerous open heart surgeries and complications where she suffered from multi organ failure, a bleed on her brain and fractured ribs. Meadow managed to pull through and was sent from cicu to hdu where the docctors were hopful that she would soon be ready to go home, but Meadow took a turn for the worst and suffered several cardiac arrests before passing away.
Fast forward coming up 10 years I found out 3 years ago when going through paperwork after me and Meadows father split that I was not jointly placed on her burial deeds and therefore meaning I have no rights to the grave. If I was to place something, the father has every right to remove and there is nothing I can do about it.
Me and my family have had ongoing communication with the cemetery manager and staff who say there is nothing they can do without the father agreeing to joint ownership. The cemetery manager has contacted the father on numerous occasions however he is refusing rights.
The next step would be going to court for a judge to change the ownership of the deeds to be joint ownership. Has anyone ever been through anything like this or could give any advice on what I can do to be able to have some say over my own little girls forever bed?
There is alot more to this that i am unable to disclose 😭 Please no hate I am desperate for help to be able to take care of my babies forever bed without having to ask the cemetery to contact the father for permission.

How heartbreaking for you. Sorry I can only offer sympathy and not advice. But would the child’s father really object to you putting flowers on her grave or a similar act of remembrance? How has it worked for the last ten years?
