Barry Stevenson-Hamilton sold fake funeral plans from his Fife businesses.
Victims of a Fife undertaker who sold fake funeral plans to vulnerable customers applauded as he was convicted of fraud.
Barry Stevenson-Hamilton pled guilty to obtaining more than £130,000 by fraud when he appeared at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.
The funeral director, 39, of Old Dalkeith Road in Edinburgh, was first charged in 2019 with obtaining more than £170,000 but pled guilty to the lower sum.
He was due to stand trial, with 52 complainers listed in the court papers.
However, he admitted fraudulently offering prepaid funeral care packages from branches of Stevenson Funeral Directors and Funeral Care Scotland Ltd in Fife.
He was CEO and director of the company at the time.
