About

Carie Hallford is a former co-owner of a Colorado funeral home. She is newsworthy due to her involvement in a case where nearly 200 decomposing bodies were discovered at the funeral home. Hallford and her ex-husband, Jon Hallford, defrauded families by taking payments for funeral services, including cremations, and often providing urns filled with concrete mix instead of ashes. Recently, Carie Hallford was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison on a fraud charge for taking over $130,000 from families. Her ex-husband, Jon Hallford, received a 40-year state prison sentence for corpse abuse. The case has garnered significant attention due to the immense emotional distress caused to the families of the deceased and the egregious nature of the crimes committed.
