Colorado funeral home owners have pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges after being accused of misspending nearly $900,000 in pandemic relief funds. Jon and Carie Hallford, the owners of Return to Nature Funeral Home, admitted to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The Hallfords allegedly used the funds meant for COVID-19 relief and payments from customers to finance a lavish lifestyle, including purchasing luxury vehicles, taking trips, and buying expensive items from stores like Gucci and Tiffany & Co.
