The owners of a Colorado funeral home where 190 decomposing bodies were found last month were arrested Wednesday in Oklahoma and are to be extradited, authorities say.
The owners of a 'green' Colorado funeral home were arrested and charged Wednesday after the decaying remains of 190 people were found at their facility last month, authorities said. Jon and Carie Hallford, owners of Return to Nature Funeral Home in Colorado Springs and Penrose, were arrested in Wagoner, Oklahoma, on suspicion of abuse of a corpse, theft, money laundering and forgery, according to a news release from District Attorney Michael Allen.
One family has filed a lawsuit that accuses Return to Nature Funeral Home and the Hallfords of negligence, fraud, intentionally inflicting emotional distress and violating several Colorado laws, among other allegations. Investigators from multiple agencies continue working to identify bodies found during the investigation. Authorities ask anyone who worked with Return to Nature Funeral Home between September 2018 and September 2023 to complete a questionnaire that can be found here.
