An ex-employee described the funeral parlour as a "horror scene", the court was told during an earlier hearing.
A British funeral director was jailed for 20 years on Friday for "dreadful" conditions at his parlour including bodies stored for months in an "undignified manner" and relatives handed other people's ashes.
Robert Bush ran his funeral parlour in Hull in northeastern England for over 12 years, offending on an "industrial scale" and causing "anguish and pain on a scale beyond beyond comprehension", judge Nicholas Hilliard said.
The 48-year-old undertaker pleaded guilty to 67 offences. He will serve at least half of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
Police who searched his premises after a tip-off in 2024 found 31 bodies in a cold storage area that should have been cremated months earlier, including a stillborn baby that had been there for almost two years.
