Jailed funeral boss angers families with 'apology'
Jasmine Beverley says she trusted Bush "with the most precious person in my life"
Disgraced funeral boss Robert Bush, who failed to bury or cremate people and gave grieving families the ashes of strangers, has offered those affected a written 'apology' - but some have reacted angrily.
Bush, 48, was jailed for 20 years at Hull Crown Court on Friday.
Some 35 bodies and more than 100 sets of ashes were found by police who raided Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull following a tip-off in March 2024.
Jasmine Beverley, whose son's remains were discovered at the funeral parlour nearly two years after he was stillborn, said: "Reading the letter has left me feeling nothing but anger."
