Police find at least 115 bodies at Colorado ‘green’ funeral home under investigation
CAÑON CITY, Colo. (AP) — Police said Friday they have found at least 115 bodies at Colorado ‘green’ funeral home under investigation for improper handling of remains.
Fremont County Sheriff Allen Cooper said they are coordinating with other agencies to determine if there is any wrongdoing.
The Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, Colorado, performed “green” burials without embalming chemicals or metal caskets.
The investigation centered on a building owned by the funeral home where local residents reported smelling a foul stench before police became involved.
