Image caption, Patrick Moore went to Humberside Police about Robert BushByLinsey Smith News correspondent, BBC East Yorkshire and LincolnshirePublished2 April 2026 "I think he was living beyond his means," says Patrick Moore about disgraced undertaker Robert Bush. Moore is trying to explain why his former boss hoarded 30 bodies and half a tonne of human ashes at Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull. A judge at the city's crown court earlier told Bush he is going to prison for preventing the burials of 30 people and giving grieving families the wrong ashes. He also fraudulently sold funeral plans and stole from 12 charities, including the Salvation Army and Macmillan Cancer Support. Robert Bush wrote on social media that his funeral home was a "special place" Moore, 65, says he was a "general dogsbody" at Legacy. And he insists he did not know Bush had kept 30 bodies after their families had held funeral services. He says he knew of only three deceased people on the premises.
