Funeral home raid No. 5 story
Almost a year into the investigation of a Montrose funeral home that doubled as a body-parts broker, more questions than answers persist for the families who used Sunset Mesa Funeral Directors to handle their loved ones' final arrangements.
The FBI raided the funeral home in February, after the state of Colorado received complaints for years about the business. Its owner, Megan Hess, is accused of charging families to handle their relatives' cremations and harvesting their body parts or selling their whole bodies to companies in the U.S. and overseas. Hess operated another business she registered as a nonprofit corporation, called Donor Services, which she is accused of using to broker the bodies.
The Sunset Mesa raid and aftermath is the Sentinel's No. 5 story of the year.
