Description
A Penrose funeral home where 190 bodies were found improperly stored is being demolished in January.
Many of the bodies that were found at Return to Nature Funeral Home were reported to the state as buried or cremated, and loved ones were provided with items that were purported to be remains, according to a federal complaint filed in the case. The Penrose funeral home's license expired in November 2022.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a release that demolition is necessary to safely remove biological and hazardous materials inside the funeral home after an assessment on Nov. 15.
