Colorado funeral home owners ordered to pay $950 million in damages to families of 190 corpses left to rot.

A Colorado-based funeral home, owned by Jon and Carie Hallford, has been ordered to pay $950 million in damages to the relatives of victims who were deceived by the couple's fraudulent practices. The judgment is largely symbolic, as the funeral home has been struggling financially for years and the owners face numerous criminal charges in state and federal courts. The $950 million award is intended to reflect the emotional trauma suffered by the families who were misled into believing they had received the ashes of their loved ones, when in fact they were fake.
