Anger at funeral director who 'kept bodies of babies at home'
The Guardian
|August 28, 2025
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.
Upton, 38, told the BBC she only had two complaints while running a baby loss support and funeral service, Florrie's Army, named after her own baby, who was stillborn in 2017. When contacted by the Guardian, Upton said she did not want to comment.
Leeds teaching hospitals NHS trust said it barred Upton from its mortuaries and maternity wards in spring this year.
A Facebook page for Florrie's Army said it offered a baby funeral service as well as providing clothing, handprints and photographs.
