Robert Bush, the Hull undertaker behind the Legacy funeral scandal, is challenging his 20-year jail term. Bush, 48, admitted 67 offences, including keeping 30 bodies after funerals, handing families strangers' ashes and selling fake funeral plans. Relatives of the dead called the move an insult and said it adds cruelty to their grief. The Court of Appeal will later decide whether to hear the case.
