The team at J G Fielder & Son has followed the trial of Robert Bush with great sadness and deep concern. The distress caused to the families affected is difficult to comprehend, and our thoughts remain with everyone who has suffered this profound breach of trust. We hope that the sentencing brings some measure of comfort to you.
For more than 130 years, it has been our family's privilege to support people through one of life's most difficult moments. Caring for those who have died is at the very heart of what we do, and we want every family to know that their loved one is always treated with the utmost dignity, respect, and compassion while in our care.
The actions revealed during this case are entirely contrary to the values and standards that guide the funeral profession. Being a funeral director is much more than a job, it is a vocation built on trust, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to caring for the deceased and their loved ones. Those principles remain at the heart of everything we do, just as they have every single day for the last 130 years.
We are voluntarily regulated by two professional organisations, The National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and The National Society of Allied & Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), both of which hold us to rigorous standards through regular inspections and ongoing accountability. We are also regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in relation to funeral plan sales, ensuring protection for the families we serve.
If you have any questions about funeral care, our facilities, or how your loved one is cared for, we welcome the opportunity to answer openly and honestly. Trust is earned, and it is a privilege we will never take for granted.
To all the families affected, we extend our sincere sympathy and support.
Victor, Chris, and the JG Fielder & Son team
