Mixed reactions over the two year prison sentence for a funeral director, who was caught mishandling bodies and scamming clients

Former Tipene Funeral staffer Fiona Bakulich pleaded guilty in February, after cyclone damage revealed she'd been wrapping bodies in plastic instead of their purchased coffins.

Herald reporter Raphael Franks says the court room was packed, and while her supporters seemed satisfied she'd accepted responsibility - her victims are not.

Franks says they were hoping for more from the sentence, and don't believe she's remorseful.
