Funeral Home Owners Found with 190 Decaying Bodies Spent $900K in COVID Fraud Scheme: Authorities
The married owners of a Colorado funeral home accused of improperly storing 190 decaying bodies are facing new charges on accusations they spent nearly $900,000 in COVID-19 relief funds on personal expenses, authorities said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Authorities said residents in the area reported an odor emanating from the facility, which prompted the search. The release states that some of the dates on the bodies listed deaths dating back to 2019.
According to the AP, the couple have not yet entered pleas to the state charges.
In the federal indictment, which was filed on April 10, the Hallfords are also accused of collecting more than $130,000 from families for cremation or burial services they never provided and filing false death certificates.
The indictment further alleges that there were several instances when the Hallfords “provided the decedent’s family members, friends, or the designated next-of-kin with an urn filled with dry concrete mix instead of the actual cremains of the deceased.” The couple also allegedly gave the wrong body for cemetery burial on at least two occasions, according to the indictment.

I've always wondered about this...like how do you know that those are the actual remains of you're loved one. Also I imagine they don't clean the furnace/incinerator after every use, so does that mean it's not just your loved one's ashes in there?
Oh the stupid shite I've pondered in my life...

Can't you smell that smell?
Hoo-hoo that smell
The smell of death around you

Seems like this is an industry that needs more checks and oversight.

Humans are cremated in single chamber incinerators, so there's only one body at a time in there and it has to be cleaned out completely each time.
I worked with a bulk waste incinerator before and if it's not cleaned out each time you'll get an incomplete burn and have to burn again. Going into to clean the incinerator out and finding an incomplete burn at the bottom is a smell burned into my nostrils.

Has anyone asked the most obvious question yet?
Why, during the height of a pandemic, was a funeral home, of all things, struggling financially? Bidness had never been better.

If I was 17, and she was my teacher, I would not hit it.
