    The Government is in “dialogue” with the funeral industry as police investigate an alleged scandal at a business in Hull, the Prime Minister has said.

    Legacy Independent Funeral Directors is the subject of an investigation after officers recovered 35 bodies and suspected human ashes from the Hull-based firm.

    Officers cordoned off three of the company’s sites after the force received a report last week of concerns about the “storage and management processes relating to care of the deceased”.
