A total of 189 decaying bodies were found at the facility.
A Colorado funeral home where 189 decaying bodies were discovered this month appears to have fabricated cremation records and may have given families fake ashes, according to information gathered from customers and crematoriums.
Calls and texts sent to numbers listed for Return to Nature and owners Jon and Carie Hallford have goneLaw enforcement officials have said Return to Nature’s owners are cooperating as investigators sought to determine any criminal wrongdoing. A second crematory, Roselawn Funeral Home in Pueblo, Colorado, was contacted by a family last week that had a 2021 death certificate from Return to Nature listing Roselawn as the crematory. Roselawn did not carry out the cremation, said its manager, Rudy Krasovec.
Public records show the Hallfords and their company, which opened in 2017 and offered cremations and “green” burials without embalming fluids, were beset by recent financial and legal troubles. Abby Swoveland hired Return to Nature when her mother, Sally Swoveland, passed away. The senior Swoveland had run a muzzleloader gun shop called The Mountain Man for nearly 50 years with a sense of humour and a sharp tongue.
