Imprisoned Hull undertaker files application to appeal his 20-year sentence

Robert Bush, 48, was previously sentenced in July 2026 after pleading guilty to 67 separate offences involving more than 300 victims. His crimes included keeping 30 bodies after their funerals, handing families the ashes of strangers, and running a chaotic business on Hessle Road in Hull. Following notification from the Criminal Appeal Office, victims have expressed deep anger over the appeal bid. Families stated that the legal challenge threatens to make them relive their pain while ongoing Proceeds of Crime proceedings are still attempting to confiscate the profits from his offenses.
