Families’ horror at funeral director who kept babies’ bodies at home

Woman barred from Leeds mortuaries after one mother said she found dead baby propped up ‘watching’ cartoons

A funeral director has been banned from working with hospitals in Leeds after a mother said she was left screaming when she found her dead baby propped up “watching” cartoons at the woman’s home.

Amie Upton has been banned from NHS maternity wards and mortuaries in the city after keeping babies’ bodies at her house in circumstances that a grandmother of another baby compared to a horror film.
