Colorado judge denies plea deal for funeral home owner accused of storing nearly 200 bodies

A Colorado judge on Monday rejected a proposed plea deal for a funeral home owner facing nearly 200 charges related to mishandling corpses at funeral homes in Colorado Springs and Penrose. The deal would have sentenced Carie Hallford to 15 to 20 years in prison.

Fourth Judicial District Judge Eric Bentley said the proposed sentence “is not consistent with the impact of these crimes on the victims and the community.” In October 2023, the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office uncovered nearly 200 decomposing bodies at the Penrose facility after investigating a foul odor. Carie and Jon Hallford, who owned Return to Nature Funeral Home in both locations, were arrested the following month on suspicion of corpse abuse, theft, money laundering, and forgery.

According to prosecutors, between September 2019 and October 2023, the couple stored bodies in a warehouse instead of burying or cremating them as promised, collecting $130,000 over four years. Carie Hallford handled customer interactions and finances, while Jon managed the transportation and preparation of bodies.

Prosecutors had proposed the plea in exchange for a 15- to 20-year sentence, citing Carie Hallford’s lack of criminal history and the fact that the charges are Colorado’s lowest-level felonies. However, families of victims testified that no sentence could adequately account for the harm done, with some requesting a year per body plus an additional day for unrecovered remains.

Derrick Johnson, representing one family, said the goal was acknowledgment rather than revenge, emphasizing the human lives affected by the Hallfords’ actions. Defense attorney Michael Stuzynski argued the plea would bring closure and finality, including a waiver of Hallford’s right to appeal.

Jon Hallford was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison in June after pleading guilty to wire fraud. A state trial for Jon is set for February. After the plea deal was rejected Monday, Carie Hallford entered a not guilty plea and requested a trial date for October.
