"Shocking Betrayal: Fake Ashes and Improper Storage Uncovered at Colorado Funeral Home"

A Colorado funeral home, Return to Nature Funeral Home, is under investigation after 189 decaying bodies were discovered, and evidence suggests that the funeral home fabricated cremation records and may have given families fake ashes. Families fear that their loved ones were not cremated at all and could be among the unidentified corpses found. The funeral home provided death certificates stating that the remains were handled by specific crematories, but those businesses denied performing cremations for Return to Nature on the specified dates. Families also reported receiving ashes with a consistency resembling dry concrete, which experts say is sometimes used by funeral homes to mimic human ashes. The owners of Return to Nature have not responded to calls and texts, and no arrests have been made.
