A funeral director who hoarded bodies and gave grieving relatives the wrong ashes has been jailed for 20 years. A court heard how Robert Bush, who ran Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull, failed to carry out promised cremations and handed people remains that did not belong to their loved ones “with a smile on his face”. Thirty-five bodies in varying states of decomposition and half a tonne of ashes were found at his premises on Hessle Road following a report to police in March 2024. Bush had also sold fraudulent funeral plans and pocketed charitable donations given in memory of the deceased. With unrivalled access to those at the heart of this shocking case, this ITV Calendar documentary chronicled how Robert Bush's crimes were uncovered and how justice was delivered. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News o
