The Environmental Protection Agency announced yesterday a new demolition scheduled for the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose.
The agency says it expected to begin the demolition process during the last week of February. Once the work begins it should take a total of 10 days to complete.
This comes after the demolition was supposed to take place on January 17th but was postponed following scheduling issues and bad weather.
The Return to Nature Funeral Home was the site where 190 decomposing bodies were found improperly stored. Owners Jon and Carie Hallford are being held in the El Paso County Jail facing over 200 felony charges each.
