Police officers got more than they bargained for when they raided a still-working funeral home.<\/p>\n

For when police in Jeffersonville, Indiana searched the Lankford Funeral Home and Family Centre, they were shocked to discover 31 people \u2013 and they were not alive.<\/p>\n

The bodies were in various stages of composition, and were also found with 16 lots of cremated remains, too.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear why the police raided the premises, and no arrests have been made, although they did say that it was \u201cpart of an ongoing investigation\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to local reports, neighbours called the police when an air-conditioning unit at the site had stopped working, which covered the area in a foul smell of dead bodies.<\/p>\n

This also increased the rate at which the bodies had been decaying.<\/p>\n

Funeral home owner Randy R. Lankford has so far not commented on the situation, and the facility has now been secured by police.<\/p>\n

Police Major Isaac Parker said that the bodies were in \u201cdifferent parts of the building\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt was a very unpleasant scene – the conditions were not good.\u201d<\/p>\n

And a local resident, who has first-hand knowledge of the company said that she knew \u201csomething wasn't right\u201d when she first visited.<\/p>\n

She told ABC 7 News: \u201cI was shocked at first, but then I remember when I first walked in and it seemed a little sketchy. It didn't seem like a professional funeral home.\u201d<\/p>\n
