A DIRECTOR of a horror funeral home where 35 bodies and human ashes were discovered has been charged with 64 offences.
Robert Bush, 47, of Hull-based Legacy Funeral Directors, was arrested last March on suspicion of fraud and prevention of a lawful burial.

A file of 13,000 exhibits, compiled in the ten months since, was handed to the Crown Prosecution Service in January.
Officers suspect relatives were charged for cremations that never took place.
Now Bush has been charged with 64 offences including 30 counts of preventing an unlawful and decent burial.
He is also accused of 30 counts of fraud by false representation in relation to the “deceased” removed from the home, Humberside Police said.
Bush has been bailed to appear at Hull Magistrates’ Court on June 25.
Deputy Chief Constable Dave Marshall confirmed the families for the 35 dead people found inside the home have been informed.
In July a woman, 55, was arrested on suspicion of money laundering.
She has been released with no further action.
A woman held in March faces no further action.
