Return to Nature Funeral Home Owners Accept Federal Plea Deal, Still Face Over 260 State Charges
The owners of the Return to Nature Funeral Home, Jon and Carie Hallford, have accepted a federal plea deal and submitted a request to change their pleas in relation to federal charges. The plea agreement will result in the Hallfords serving a 15-year prison sentence for their crimes.
While the federal case moves forward, the couple still faces over 260 state charges. These charges stem from ongoing investigations into the funeral home’s practices.
The Hallfords’ sentencing in the federal case will likely offer some resolution to the families impacted, but the state-level charges could extend their legal battles.
