Description

A Colorado couple, Jon and Carie Hallford, owners of Return to Nature Funeral Home, pleaded guilty to abusing 191 corpses and defrauding the government of nearly $900,000. They will serve 25-35 years and 30-50 years, respectively, concurrently with their federal sentences. The couple allegedly lived lavishly while handing out fake ashes and dumping bodies. Victims families demanded 191 years each, but the judge praised their advocacy, leading to tougher sentences. Sentencing is set for February 6 and April 24, 2026, with a lifetime ban from the funeral industry. This scandal exposed Colorados weak oversight, prompting reforms like routine inspections.
