The families of the victims of jailed funeral director Robert Bush have demanded a public inquiry after their loved ones were “denied dignity in death”.
Speaking outside the court after Bush was sentenced to 20 years in prison, Karen Dry, whose parents were victims, said: “These testimonies serve as a stark reminder of the heinous and egregious acts committed by a funeral director who acted with complete impunity for far too long.

“Mr Bush did not make a mistake. His acts were deliberate. His own barrister said the breach of trust is obvious and gross, and tainted the memory of every person. It underscores the funeral industry that is currently in desperate need of strict regulation. We all deserve dignity in death, and this was totally denied to our loved ones.
“Deep scars remain due to the terrible violations committed against our loved ones. It is agonising to recall a baby denied a proper cremation and left in a paper bag on the floor for nearly two years. Equally heartbreaking is many adults denied a dignified resting place, left to decompose on shelves to a point where DNA and dental record testing was necessary for identification.
“Alongside this profound disrespect, families were stripped of their life savings through fraud, and charities were robbed of donations meant to one of the deceased.”
