Arrests at a funeral directors in Hull.

‘Preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body’ is troubling, thinking of other cases where that charge has been brought - though as far as I know there are no charges at present.

Father & daughter owners I believe. Of 3 funeral parlours.

According to Companies house a director resigned, she had the same surname as the remaining director.
Their accounts are overdue.

I recall reading about similar complaints regarding a pet crematorium some years ago. I won’t go into details but it was very upsetting.

What on earth has gone on?
I cannot imagine the pain of discovering someone I loved having been mistreated in death.

The DM article mentions concerns over storage and management and says that bodies have been removed for identification.

be aware, that as people have been arrested in connection with a criminal investigation, we should be v circumspect in any comments.
really, best to avoid comments until the matter is concluded in the judicial process.
this forum is not like chatter around the water-cooler; it is published material for the purposes of the strict liability rule, section 1, contempt of court act 1981.

This is baffling isn't it. And really upsetting for the families of the deceased.

Obviously this is horrendous for the relatives, what a horrible job for the police too.

It’s certainly strange. I’ve no idea what’s supposed to have happened.

I live in the area, it’s a complete mystery.
The wording is interesting though.

“A 46-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of prevention of a lawful and decent burial, fraud by false representation and fraud by abuse of position. In a statement on Sunday evening, Humberside Police said the man and the woman remained in police custody.”

I really cannot decipher this, all the poor families whose loved ones have been in the care of this company must be devastated.

They should NOT have had 34 bodies stored on the small premises.

had people been deceived in some way.? had they paid.?

someone informed the police. a neighbour probably

it was on bbc news last night and all the news today. didn't dare put DM link first 'cause people think all dm articles are false it seems. but you have to pay for telegraph so here is DM link

How awful for the families of the deceased.

Lots to read about it in various newspapers - snippet's on line.

I was also wondering what it was, were the bodies interfered with, were things stolen
What ever it is it’s blooming awful

I don't understand what exactly happened here.

Do you know more?
I keep seeing articles about this but am no wiser.
