Colorado Families Demand Cremation Reform | Colorado Springs News

Colorado families are demanding sweeping reforms after nearly 200 bodies were found decaying at a funeral home — a scandal that exposed gaping holes in the cremation system. New laws would require independent identity verification before cremation and mandatory state reporting for every cremation, ending the era of falsified paperwork and missing remains. One grieving mother revealed her son’s ashes were never cremated — his body was shipped to the wrong facility and buried under a lie. Now, families are not only pushing for regulation but also pursuing a civil lawsuit, with a judge approving the case — and lawmakers are preparing to vote on the reforms this fall.
