Funeral Home Owners Plead Guilty to Fraud Amidst Shocking Scandal

The owners of a Colorado funeral home, infamously known for storing over 190 improperly handled bodies, have pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges. The Return to Nature Funeral Home had been accused of deceiving families by providing fake ashes while misusing nearly $1 million from COVID relief funds to purchase luxury items and cryptocurrency. The case has drawn considerable attention due to disturbing reports, including one chilling incident where a body was reportedly left in a hearse for over a year. The owners are expected to appear in court soon to formalize their guilty pleas as part of a plea deal related to the ongoing investigation into their shocking practices.
