190 Loved Ones
were improperly stored, rather than being handled in the way our families intended.

1000s of family members
are waiting for answers, most that will never come simply because of the nature of the crimes...

480 community members
have joined with us to support the families along this journey. But we still need YOU!
In early October 2023, law enforcement discovered 190 bodies improperly stored at the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, CO.
These bodies were not left by their families. Each of us thought we were carrying our loved ones' remains.
Some of us were given concrete. Some of us have been carrying human remains - just not our humans'.
This site is in place to document the crimes of Return to Nature, humanize the victims, and support the families who have been impacted.
