Summary
Carie and Jon Hallford, owners of a Colorado funeral home, have pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges after leaving 190 decaying corpses at their facility. The couple was accused of misappropriating funds from customers and a pandemic relief program, using the money for personal expenses instead of providing the promised funeral services.
The Hallfords operated the Return to Nature Funeral Home, which claimed to offer environmentally friendly burial options. However, investigations revealed a horrific scene where bodies were improperly stored, leading to significant public outcry and legal action. They were indicted on multiple charges related to wire fraud and conspiracy after law enforcement discovered the condition of the remains last year. The couple’s fraudulent schemes reportedly netted nearly $1 million, including $882,300 obtained from COVID-19 relief funds intended for businesses struggling during the pandemic. Their case highlights severe lapses in oversight within the funeral industry and the devastating impact of their actions on grieving families.
