Pipkin Mortuary stopped performing funerals as of Wednesday while the state investigates its operations and reviews a late-filed license application.
Chris Lines, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, said Wednesday that the state’s review could be released by the end of the week.
Last week, the state agency ordered the funeral home, at 2531 Ogden St., to “cease and desist” funeral operations after its pending contracts expired Tuesday.
The funeral home came under scrutiny after it mistakenly buried the body of Imogene Jackson in a casket that should have held Evelyn Jackson on Jan. 29.
DORA then discovered Pipkin was in violation of a regulation that required all Colorado funeral homes to register by Jan. 1.
