Victims of the Legacy funeral scandal say it is an "insult" Hull undertaker Robert Bush has lodged an application to appeal against his 20-year prison sentence.

Bush, 48, admitted keeping 30 bodies after their funerals, presenting families with the ashes of strangers and selling fake funeral plans.

He pleaded guilty to 67 separate offences and was sentenced in July 2026.
