He is still facing multiple lawsuits from people whose loved ones were among the bodies or ashes found at his funeral home last July. Jeffersonville police made the discovery after the local coroner’s office alerted the department to “conditions” at the funeral home on July 1, according to a petition from the Indiana Attorney General seeking to suspend Lankford’s license.

Authorities discovered that three of the facility’s four air conditioners were not working, according to the petition. The bodies in body bags were stored in different rooms, the petition says, and several had been there for an “extended” period of time. The bodies were in various stages of decomposition, the attorney general’s office said.

In a civil complaint filed last week, a couple said Lankford sent them a plastic box last June purporting to contain the remains of his daughter. The couple later learned that his daughter had not been cremated at all: she was among the decomposing bodies discovered in the Lankford business.

The suit accuses Lankford of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and breach of contract. A message left at a number listed for Lankford was not immediately returned Friday night. Lankford’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Read More……
