Investigation Launched into Colorado Funeral Home's Improperly Stored Human Remains

Authorities in Colorado are investigating a funeral home known for offering "green" burials after bodies were found improperly stored at one of its buildings. The Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, Colorado, is under investigation following reports of a suspicious incident. A search warrant executed by the sheriff's office and other agencies revealed that human remains were being improperly stored at the site. The funeral home, which promotes environmentally friendly burials, did not respond to requests for comment. Green burials are legal in Colorado, but proper refrigeration is required for remains not buried within 24 hours. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have asked family members to contact them regarding their loved ones left in the care of the funeral home.
