After 31 decaying bodies and 17 cremations were discovered at his funeral parlour last year, an Indiana funeral director entered a guilty plea on Friday to dozens of burglary-related counts, according to court documents. According to The Associated Press, Randy Lankford, owner of Jeffersonville's Lankford Funeral Home and Family Centre, will pay $46,000 in reparations to 53 families and face a projected 12-year sentence that would include four years in jail and eight years of house arrest.

According to Clark County court documents, Lankford entered a guilty plea to 43 counts of burglary, with the value of the stolen goods ranging from $750 to $50,000. According to records, he had been accused with 86 counts of larceny and one case of improper business influence. According to the AP, the robbery charge stemmed from his failure to complete the paid-for burial rituals.

Incident Detail

People whose loved ones were among the dead or ashes discovered at his funeral facility last July are still suing him in a number of different ways. According to a petition by the Indiana Attorney General attempting to suspend Lankford's licence, Jeffersonville police made the finding on July 1 after receiving a notification about 'conditions' at the funeral parlour from the neighbourhood coroner's office.

According to the petition, authorities found that three of the facility's four air conditioners weren't functional. According to the appeal, the bodies in body bags were kept in several rooms, some of which had been occupied for a "extended" length of time. The attorney general's office reported that the bodies were in varying stages of decomposition.

A couple claimed in a civil action submitted last week that Lankford gave them a plastic box in June of last year that was allegedly filled with the remains of his daughter. The couple eventually found out that his daughter was one of the remains found in the Lankford company that were already rotting, not one that had been cremated at all.

Lankford is charged with carelessness, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and contract breach in the lawsuit. Friday night, a message left at Lankford's stated phone number was not promptly returned. An inquiry for comment was not immediately answered by Lankford's lawyer.
