Families Consulted on Memorial Gardens for Funeral Home Incident in Hull, East Yorkshire

Families affected by the investigation into Legacy Independent Funeral Directors are being consulted on designs for permanent memorials, with two memorial gardens planned at the Northern Cemetery in Hull and Lelley Fields Crematorium. These gardens aim to provide peaceful settings for the ashes of the deceased, following a distressing incident that involved the removal of 35 bodies and ashes from the funeral home. Hull City Council's Tracy Meyerhoff emphasized the importance of family involvement in shaping the memorials, as it has been a year since the incident emerged. Public input will also be solicited through a series of in-person events scheduled for April and an online feedback form. The plans come as police consider potential charges against individuals involved in the case, which has deeply impacted the local community. The independent charity Victim Support continues to provide assistance to those affected, ensuring ongoing support during this challenging time.
