This is a problem that has cropped up often enough that further government investigation should be considered. In Colorado last October, neighbors of the Return to Nature Funeral Home called the police and reported a foul odor coming from the facility on a regular basis. An investigation quickly revealed the gruesome cause. The couple operating the funeral home had failed to properly inter or cremate hundreds of deceased people, instead stacking many bodies up like cordwood at room temperature in a dilapidated building. The people were literally left there to rot. This week, a judge ruled that the husband and wife who own the facility, Carie and Jon Hallford, can go to trial where they will face hundreds of counts of crimes against them. The couple had reportedly been in severe financial trouble and had not kept up with their bills. (Associated Press)
