DENVER — Colorado funeral home owners accused of misspending nearly $900,000 in COVID-19 pandemic relief funds have pleaded guilty to federal charges for defrauding customers. Jon and Carie Hallford were charged with 15 federal offenses related to defrauding the U.S. government and the funeral home’s customers. They are accused in a separate case of stashing roughly 200 decaying bodies inside their Penrose Return to Nature location and sending grieving families fake ashes.
Prosecutors cannot ask for any more than 15 years in prison, as a result of the plea. One of the victims, Crystina Page, addressed the courtroom during both hearings. During her statement, she said the plea deal is as close to justice as they will come, but considers it insufficient. Still, hearing the Hallfords say the word 'guilty' was satisfying for the victims.
