Police did not disclose what the funeral home was doing with the human remains.

A funeral home offering environmentally friendly burials is under investigation after more than 115 human remains were found being improperly stored on the property, according to authorities.

Deputies from the Fremont County Sheriff's Office in Colorado were dispatched to the Return to Nature Funeral Home based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Tuesday in reference to a suspicious incident, the Fremont County Sheriff's Office said in a press release on Thursday.

The Fremont County Sheriff's Office found around 115 decomposing bodies stored inside a space of about 2,500 square feet. The bodies are in such bad shape that they will need to be identified through DNA, the sheriff's office said Friday.

...

"Without providing too much detail to avoid further victimizing these families, the area of the funeral home where the bodies were improperly stored was horrific," Cooper said.

The scene was so bad that a paramedic who first responded developed a rash and had to be medically evaluated, Cooper said.

“No, no they’ve been stored beyond the environment, they’re not in the environment.”

Well, what’s out there?

I guess natural decay without bodily preservation fluids is the most environmentally friendly.

That's it, I've decided not to die.

Why was a paramedic called to the scene?

Reports from today say the owner claimed to practice taxidermy there.

Shouldn't have used compostable post-its.
