KUNC: Colorado ramped up funeral home inspections this year after several cases of misconduct involving fake ashes and hidden bodies.

A log KUNC news requested and obtained last week shows inspectors have visited at least 166 mortuaries so far this year, with an average pace of 21 inspections per month.

To put the pace in perspective, at least 22 mortuaries were inspected last month compared to just five at the same time last year.

But state regulators are continuing to keep the contents of the dozens of new inspection reports a secret from the public.
