Families discovered their loved ones were never cremated, with empty coffins presented at services whilst bodies remained hidden. Robert Bush, 47, admitted in court to preventing lawful burial of at least 30 people at his Hull funeral home between 2012 and March 2024. Police found 252 total victims of his deception, including bodies left to rot for nearly a year and families given ashes belonging to strangers.
