Legacy Independent Funeral Directors has racked up debts worth £53,508 to councils, including in unpaid cremation fees.

The funeral business, which remains the subject of a major police investigation, owes Hull City Council £51,508.46 and East Riding Council £2,000. A spokesperson for the Hull authority said that it was looking into how it would get the money back. The news emerged before a meeting of the Hull council today, when leader Cllr Mike Ross said the authority had been undertaking a considerable amount of work since a police investigation into Legacy began on Wednesday, March 6.

He said the council was working with other organisations, including the health service, to provide counselling and mental health support to those affected. The leader said: “Our sympathy is with all those caught up in these events, the true magnitude of this is yet to come to light. The passing of a loved one is a terrible time whenever it happens, for families to be affected by what’s happened here is doubly tragic. “For every deceased individual there will be eight or nine people affected.
