FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. — Nearly two weeks ago, law enforcement in Fremont County began an investigation into more than 115 improperly stored bodies inside a funeral home in Penrose.

According to DORA, the General Assembly orders these reviews, and all reviews are sent to the General Assembly. One of the reviews released on Friday was the Portions of the Mortuary Science Code, which looks at the funeral home and cremation industry. The new report from the state is recommending changes to current industry regulations.

Prior to 2022, the state needed permission from funeral homes to inspect them. A bill that passed this spring now authorizes the state to conduct unannounced inspections.
