"Jon and Carie Hallford, owners of a Colorado funeral home, pleaded guilty to abusing corpses and defrauding grieving families by providing fake ashes—deepening family traumas."
"Prosecutor Rachael Powell stated that the bodies at Return to Nature Funeral Home were discovered in deplorable conditions: stacked, decomposing, and improperly stored for years, shocking grieving relatives."
"Families of the deceased expressed outrage in court, feeling that the 15 to 20-year sentences agreed upon for the Hallfords are insufficient considering the extensive emotional damage caused by the couple's actions."
"The Hallfords reportedly misused nearly $900,000 in pandemic relief funds for personal luxuries while neglecting the bodies entrusted to their care, highlighting a shocking betrayal of trust."
