"189 Bodies Found in Colorado Funeral Home: Families May Have Received Fake Ashes"

A Colorado funeral home, Return to Nature Funeral Home, where 189 decaying bodies were discovered, is suspected of fabricating cremation records and providing families with fake ashes. Families fear that their loved ones were not cremated at all and may be among the unidentified corpses found at the funeral home. The funeral home gave death certificates stating that the remains were handled by certain crematories, but those businesses denied performing cremations for Return to Nature. None of the families received identification tags or certificates typically given to ensure the authenticity of cremations. The funeral home owners have not responded to calls and texts, and no arrests have been made. Investigations are ongoing to determine any criminal wrongdoing.
