Burials affected by HS2

Hello, I have heard that the disinterred bodies from the churchyard at Stoke Mandeville will be respectfully buried with a memorial. Does anyone know if this has happened yet? I believe my ancestor would have been buried there in 1833. Thanks
 
I could only find what HS2 said during the excavation process: that the reburial site would be announced by HS2, and they had five years from the first exhumation to complete the reburials. However, that was before Covid, so while the five years is nearly up, they may have valid grounds for a deferral.
 
I have been told that the burial ground will be in Marsh Lane. It will be landscaped and there will be a memorial.I recently saw something about it on Digging for Britain and they showed some of the skeletons. Although I find archaeology fascinating, I am never sure about disturbing burials.
