A British funeral director, Robert Bush, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a series of offenses involving human remains. Bush, who operated a funeral parlor in Hull, northeast England, was found to have stored bodies for extended periods in undignified conditions and given families the wrong ashes. Police discovered around 31 bodies in cold storage that should have been cremated long ago. Bush also stole charitable donations collected during funerals.
