HULL FUNERAL DIRECTOR ROBERT BUSH FACES SENTENCING ON 67 CHARGES

Robert Bush, a funeral director, is to be sentenced on more than 65 offences, according to reports from multiple sources. One account reported 67 charges against Bush, who operated Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull. The sentencing is scheduled for Monday.

MPs have called for an end to what they describe as the "Wild West" of unregulated funeral care, citing the case ahead of Bush's sentencing. The timing suggests the case has prompted renewed scrutiny of regulation within the funeral services industry.
