Horrible smell in Penrose, Colorado.
[BLAZE] A putrid stench had reportedly emanated from a building in a small town in Colorado for a number of days. When the authorities decided to take a closer look at the "green" funeral operator's storage facility, they made a horrific discovery.

Investigators were slow to reveal what they had discovered inside the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, Colorado. It appears that the authorities found a total of 115 decaying bodies within the facility, according to the Associated Press.

The report noted that the investigators who usually deal with airline crashes, a number of coroners, and the FBI eventually got involved in the case.

The man in charge of the facility, Jon Hallford, apparently tried to hide the improper storage of corpses, adding that he was doing taxidermy at the facility. However, CP24 reported that Hallford had apparently performed green burials without using embalming chemicals or metal caskets.

Hallford conceded that there was a "problem" on the property. Though the Colorado Office of Funeral Home and Crematory Registration letter did not mention the alleged taxidermy or improper storage of dead bodies, it did mention that Hallford's facility's registration had been out of date since November 2022.
