Ron Marsh said he had contacted Legacy Independent Funeral Directors when his mother Joyce Moulton died in September 2023, aged 98.<\/p>\n
He said Bush was professional and the service he organised was “excellent”, but the family never received her ashes, with attempts to contact Legacy going unanswered.<\/p>\n
In March 2024, he was visited at his Surrey home by police family liaison officers who told him his mother’s body had been found during a raid at Legacy’s premises in Hull.<\/p>\n
“I was gobsmacked. It was just not anything I ever thought happened, would happen, and certainly not happen to my mum.<\/p>\n
“I couldn’t comprehend something like that happening,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Because there is no legislation with regard to funeral directors, and therefore, there’s no checking to see that once a funeral service has been had, if it’s not at the crematorium or at the church, that body has actually been either cremated or buried.<\/p>\n
“So it still gets to me and I think it will for the rest of my life,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ron Marsh said he had contacted Legacy Independent Funeral Directors when his mother Joyce Moulton died in September…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-722024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
