The Hallfords operated fraudulent schemes that netted just under $1 million, including siphoning $882,300 from COVID-19 relief funds while leaving 190 decaying corpses in their care.
Prosecutors described the Hallfords' funeral home as a 'macabre and ghoulish house of horrors' where bodies were stacked like cord wood and left to decompose.
Family victims were horrified to find that their loved ones' remains were not treated respectfully, as promised, instead receiving containers filled with dubious remains.
The Hallfords pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges and could face up to 15 years in prison following their indictment on multiple counts of fraud.
