   DENVER — The Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) has suspended   
   the business license for a Colorado Springs funeral home after more   
   than 115 improperly stored bodies were found at another funeral home   
   that belongs to the same owner.   
      
   According to an order of summary suspension dated Thursday, there   
   was a report of "an abhorrent smell" coming from the Return to   
   Nature Funeral Home at 31 Werner Road in Penrose on Tuesday.   
      
   On Wednesday, the program director of the Office of Funeral Home and   
   Crematory Registration spoke on the phone with the owner, according   
   to the document. It says he acknowledged that he had a "problem" at   
   the Penrose property and claimed that he practiced taxidermy there,   
   and he agreed to meet there later in the day to facilitate an   
   inspection.   
      
   That same day, the document says, law enforcement executed a search   
   warrant at the Penrose property and determined that human remains   
   were improperly stored inside. It also says the owner had tried to   
   conceal the improper storage.   
      
   The order says the registration to practice as a funeral home at the   
   Colorado Springs location at 815 E. Platte Ave. is summarily   
   suspended, pending proceedings to determine whether the owner's   
   registration to practice should be further disciplined.   
      
   DORA issued a cease and desist order for the Penrose property on   
   Thursday, due to evidence that it had acted without the required   
   registration to practice and operate as a funeral home. Its license   
   expired in November 2022.   
      
   The Fremont County Sheriff's Office said Friday that Return to   
   Nature in Penrose was under investigation for the improper storage   
   of more than 115 human bodies.   
      
      
   Officials would not go into details on how the bodies were   
   improperly stored, saying that was part of the investigation.   
      
   No arrests have been made, and any potential charges will be   
   determined after the investigation is completed, according to the   
   sheriff's office.   
      
   Return to Nature has not responded to requests for comment.
