Arrests come after concerns raised about ‘storage and management processes relating to care of the deceased’

A man and woman have been arrested on suspicion of prevention of lawful and decent burial after police removed 34 bodies from a funeral parlour in Hull.

Concerns were raised earlier this week about “storage and management processes relating to care of the deceased” at Legacy Independent Funeral Directors, a chain of three funeral parlours. “We can confirm 34 deceased people have now been respectfully transported from Legacy funeral directors based on Hessle Road to the mortuary in Hull for formal identification procedures to take place,” Asst Ch Const Thom McLoughlin said. “Since the report on Wednesday 6 March, cordons remain in place at all three Legacy Independent Funeral Directors premises.”

“The dedicated phone line remains open and has received over 350 calls from concerned members of the public since Friday. We continue to encourage anyone who has used Legacy Independent Funeral Directors and has concerns to call us on 0800 051 4674, or 0207 126 7619 if you are calling from abroad.
