Two-year Legacy vigil offers 'support to families'
BBCA vigil will be held later to mark the two-year anniversary of a major police investigation into a Hull-based funeral business.
Humberside Police removed 35 bodies and the ashes of 167 people from the premises of Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in March 2024 following a report of "concern for care of the deceased".
The vigil, which will be held at St Nicholas Church, on Hessle Road, Hull, at 18:00 GMT, will "provide pastoral care and support for families," according to Mother Linda Gillard, who will lead it.
Gillard, who has offered support to families throughout, said: "On this anniversary, we want to keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers."
In October 2025, former undertaker Robert Bush admitted 35 offences of fraud by false representation and another of fraudulently running a business, relating to the sale of funeral plans, at a hearing at Hull Crown Court.
The 47-year-old also denied 30 counts of preventing lawful and decent burials and one charge of stealing money from charity collection boxes.
A trial is scheduled for October, with an additional hearing scheduled for 2 April.
