That so-called “natural” funeral home, accused of failing to bury the remains of more than a hundred people who’d been promised “green” burials, is now facing a class-action lawsuit…
(Suit v Penrose Funeral Home :36)
Colorado Springs TV station KRDO is reporting that action was filed Monday against the former “Return to Nature” funeral home. The Fremont County Coroner is still trying to identify all the bodies left there, at the facility near Penrose. Investigators found 189 sets of remains there, earlier this month. They’d gone to look into reports of a horrendous smell coming from the building. The first plaintiff on the new lawsuit is a Richard Law. He says he’d asked that funeral home to cremate his father’s remains 3 years ago, but instead of actual ashes, the funeral home gave him crushed concrete. Law says his dad’s body was still inside “Return To Nature” in the last few weeks.
