While shocking, the mistreatment of corpses in Colorado isn't an isolated incident. In 2023, nearly 200 decomposing bodies were found at the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, about 30 miles from Pueblo. A Colorado judge on Friday rejected a plea agreement in that case.

Multiple decomposing bodies were discovered behind a hidden door in a Pueblo funeral home run by the county coroner during an annual inspection, state officials said.

Around 20 decomposing bodies were discovered in a hidden room concealed by a cardboard display at Davis Mortuary in Pueblo. Now families are concerned that what they believed to be cremains of their loved ones may not be what they thought.
