If we could just talk to you both briefly that would be fantastic.
The reason we're here is there's been an enforcement action at your premises up the road this morning at the funeral premises.
This is the moment two funeral directors who kept 46 bodies in unrefrigerated conditions have been jailed for four years.
Richard Elkin, 49, and Hayley Bell, 42 ran Elkin and Bell funerals in Gosport, Hampshire.
They were found guilty following a trial at Portsmouth Crown Court of preventing a lawful and decent burial of a body, causing a public nuisance by keeping bodies in unrefrigerated conditions and fraudulent trading between June 2022 and December 2023.
We believe there may be some offences because they're not refrigerated.
Certainly it's not cold.
There's water dripping through the ceilings and all sorts.
So whatever that may be.
I'm not interviewing you and so I'm not asking for any comment about what may or may not have been kept.
And if I'm honest with you, I don't know what standard a funeral directors has to look like.
I don't know how a body should be preserved but we have to arrange to remove the bodies because clearly the premises has been taken over now.
