The body of Peter Moody, 65, was found by police alongside 34 others and more than 100 sets of ashes at Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull in March 2024. One of the bodies had been there for a year.

His daughter Joanne Moody, 48, who is expected to join other families wronged by Robert Bush in the court’s public gallery, said: “It’s broke me, it’s crucified me.”

Moody said she could now “start remembering dad as he was, not thinking about Bush walking the streets”, adding that she would “sleep easier” knowing the former funeral director would pay for his crime.

“It’s a pivotal point in our recovery knowing that justice is being done,” she said.

She described her father as a “dedicated” family man who enjoyed fishing, Hull FC and spending time with his grandchildren.
