The funeral home was demolished earlier this year. The funeral home sold eco-friendly burial packages, promising burials in biodegradable coffins. However, an investigation revealed that the Hallfords were deceiving grieving families by delivering urns containing concrete mixes instead of their loved ones’ ashes. They were also sending the wrong bodies to cemeteries for burial.

A gruesome scandal has rocked the United States as Jon and Carie Hallford, owners of a Colorado funeral home, have admitted to abusing 190 bodies. The couple pleaded guilty after an extensive investigation revealed shocking conditions at the home where they operated their human composting business, which they ran under the guise of offering a sustainable service.

Police began investigating the case in October 2023, after neighbors reported an unbearable smell coming from the location. Upon arriving, investigators came across a truly horrific scene: 190 bodies stored improperly, some in an advanced stage of decomposition, with dates of death dating back to 2019.

Prosecutors described horrific scenes. Bodies were found in disposable bags, wrapped only in sheets and duct tape, or even exposed without any protection. Some were found thrown on the floor, others stacked on shelves, on stretchers or even inside plastic bag.
