(Bad Funeral Home wrap :47)
Jon and Carie Halford were tracked down in Oklahoma. They’re each being held on a 2 million dollar cash bond, for multiple felony charges. Those include abuse of a corpse, money laundering, and fraud. The couple had owned the “Return to Nature” funeral home in Fremont County, where authorities now believe they’d been incorrectly storing bodies for years. One victim spoke after their arrests. Chrystina Page lost her son 4 years ago, and went to the Halfords for his cremation. She was given an urn containing what she was told were his ashes. It turns out his remains were still at the funeral home when it was raided and cleaned out last month…

Investigators still haven’t identified all of the 189 bodies found at the facility, and are asking any family whose loved one might have been sent there, to call police.
