Fraudulent funeral director Robert Bush should face between 20 and 25 years in prison, prosecutors have said. The court heard there were no sentencing guidelines and no maximum penalty for the offence of preventing a lawful burial, and previous cases did not reflect what Bush was doing. Earlier in the day, the court heard that Bush spent more than £42,000 on holidays while he was defrauding scores of customers. The court heard that Bush told her: “We’ll take care of it, don’t worry.” The court heard that Mr Craig died in September 2023, and the envelope should have contained donations for Dove House Hospice, collected by his mother Jayne Waudby.
