    I can’t be the only one that went “Of course they’d find dead bodies at a funeral home”

    The issue is improper handling of the dead bodies, which under Colorado Law a dead body can’t be lying around for 24 hours without refrigeration. It’s a hygiene problem. There were smells seeping from the building due to it and they had the bodies just out there.

    The “Greenest” burial is to bury in the ground a dead body unembalmed and naked. If you have to, put it in a biodegradable shroud. No coffin of any kind either. Plant a tree on the surface. The West has this weird desire to preserve and doll up a corpse for weeks and an entire parasitic industry has grown up around it to fleece emotionally vulnerable people. You can mourn the dead without the corpse being in front of you.
