FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. — Family members who entrusted the owners of a southern Colorado funeral home to care for their loved ones' remains spoke at length Thursday about the impacts the gruesome discovery of decomposing bodies by authorities last year has had on their lives.
For those bringing the civil case against the Return to Nature Funeral Home owners, it's about"therapeutic justice," as psychologist Dr. Sheri Gibson called it during the hearing Thursday. Another family member recounted Thursday feeling uneasy about her interaction with the Hallfords when she paid them for her daughter's interment.
"Who knew they would be listed as a viable business, now knowing they owed so much money to crematoriums and places that make caskets?" said another family member.Case against funeral home owner Jon Hallford can proceed to trial, judge rules Colette Bordelon 6:23 PM, Feb 08, 2024 The average wholesale cost of cremation in Colorado is somewhere between $250 and $300, according to testimony from FBI Special Agent Andrew Cohen in another case against the Hallfords.
"I don't give a f—k about this family, I'll give a f—k about what's happening in Penrose, are not going to prison and getting the f—k out of this community. My one and only focus is keeping us out of jail, what is yours?" Jon wrote in a message dated May 5, 2020. The Hallfords bought Return to Nature in 2019. Before that, the Hallfords had a lease agreement for the property, according to testimony from Jon's preliminary hearing in February.
While the trauma and grief from the experience likely may never heal entirely, Dr. Gibson said the court can provide therapeutic justice by making the victims feel heard, understood and seen.
