[Funeral director admits preventing 30 burials and theft]


[A funeral director has admitted preventing
the burials of 30 bodies and stealing donations
made to charities by mourners.

Robert Bush, 48, was arrested after
police investigated Hull-based
Legacy Independent Funeral Directors following
a report of "concern for care of the deceased"
in March 2024.

Bush, formerly of East Yorkshire and now
living in West Yorkshire, pleaded guilty
at Hull Crown Court to 30 counts
of preventing a lawful and decent burial,
and one of theft from 12 charities including
the Salvation Army and Macmillan Cancer Support.

He previously admitted presenting families with
the ashes of strangers and fraudulently
selling funeral plans. He will be sentenced on 27 July.]
