Summary

Owners of Return to Nature Funeral Home in Colorado, pleaded guilty to 191 counts of corpse abuse after nearly 200 decomposing bodies were found at their facility.

The couple, Jon and Carie Hallford, admitted to defrauding families by taking payments for burial or cremation services they never performed, sometimes substituting concrete mix for ashes.

They also admitted to a related federal conspiracy to commit wire fraud, including $800,000 in COVID-19 relief fraud.

Sentencing for both state and federal cases is scheduled for 2025, with each facing up to 20 years in prison.

      Its that suburban trophy wife face. I grew up in a suburban labyrinth and so many of my friends’ moms looked exactly like this.

          Yeah “trophy wives” as a concept is really weird anyway. I know it can have misogynistic uses as well, I prolly should have used quotes the first time
