On April 4th, disgraced funeral director Robert Bush, the 48-year-old from Hull, is using his Easter weekend to clear out his place before. He ran legacy independent funeral directors, where he left 35 bodies unburied and held on to 100 sets of ashes from grieving families. Just recently, he pleaded guilty in whole crown court to 30 counts of blocking proper burials, plus death from 12 charities like the Salvation. Army and McMillan Cancer Support. Here this week, Bush got spotted driving his black Audi from his bail spot in Otley-West Yorkshire, straight to a local recycling center. Loaded up with bin bags, boxes, and household junk, he spent time sorting plastics, cardboard and metals into the right bins, acting like it was no. Big deal despite his crimes. Locals in the quiet Kodasak where he's staying on bail say he's not hiding out at all. People know what he did, but they're giving him space, figuring he's lucky to be away from Hull where families are furious. One neighbor wondered, what'll happen to his two dogs once he's locked up?
Bush has kept walking those dogs around the historic market town, showing no shame even after past guilty pleas for handing family strangers ashes. And scamming on funeral plans, he still won't talk to victims' relatives, or say sorry. Sentencing hits in four months, so for now, he's tying up loose ends while the fallout from his mess lingers for everyone else involved.
