“We do not consider a job finished until the space is verified clean.”
The Coroner's Role, and Where We Come In
In Lawrence County, the Lawrence County Coroner’s Office is responsible for investigating a sudden, violent, or unexpected death and determining how it happened. What the county does not do, and what the funeral home does not do, is clean and restore the property afterward. That falls to the family. ACT Cleaners handles it, coordinating with the coroner’s office and disposing of all biohazardous material under Indiana’s 410 IAC 1-3 medical waste regulations.
While You Wait for Us: A Short Guide
Please do
- Have your insurance information ready. We can start the claim and bill the carrier directly.
- Keep people and pets out of the area. Blood and fluids can carry pathogens that are not visible.
- Lower the thermostat if you safely can. Cooler air slows biological activity and odor until we arrive.
- Call us first, before you touch anything. A real technician will tell you exactly what to do next, any hour.
Please do not
- Do not run fans or central air. Airflow moves contamination through the home and HVAC.
- Do not let cost stop you from calling. Insurance usually covers this, and Indiana compensation may help for violent crimes.
- Do not clean biological material yourself. Household products do not disinfect to a safe standard, and the exposure is real.
- Do not discard belongings yet. Some can be saved, and some matter for an insurance or compensation claim.
What We Handle in Bedford
In Bedford, our team handles unattended death and decomposition cleanup, hoarding and infectious disease decontamination, blood and bodily fluid cleanup, biohazard and trauma scene cleanup, tenant death and rental property cleanup, and suicide cleanup, along with related decontamination work. Every job is done to a verified safe standard, billed to insurance where coverage applies.
Will Insurance or the State Pay for This?
In most cases, yes. Homeowner’s and property policies typically cover biohazard, trauma, and unattended death cleanup, and we bill the carrier directly so families rarely pay out of pocket. For violent crimes, the Indiana Violent Crime Victim Compensation Fund through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) may reimburse crime scene cleanup up to 15,000 dollars, a benefit added in 2022 that most eligible families never hear about. We walk you through it.
About Our Work in Bedford
Bedford is the Lawrence County seat in the limestone region of southern Indiana, a quarrying town whose stone built monuments across the country, set among the wooded hills and rural communities of the area.
Bedford’s housing runs from older homes in its established neighborhoods to rural and farm properties scattered through the surrounding hills, where an unattended death can go undiscovered longer and distance factors into the response. Our technicians trace the full extent, remove only what cannot be saved, and verify the result, coordinating quietly with the Lawrence County Coroner’s Office and the Bedford Police Department.
We also serve nearby Bloomington, Vincennes, Columbus, and the surrounding communities. See our full Indiana crime scene cleanup coverage.

Questions Families in Bedford Ask
How fast can you reach Bedford?
We answer 24/7, including holidays, and dispatch immediately, with a 35 to 45 minute target response for most of the Lawrence County area. We give you an honest window based on your exact location.
Who investigates a death in Bedford?
Lawrence County uses the Lawrence County Coroner’s Office to determine cause and manner of death. Cleanup of the property afterward falls to the family or owner, which is what ACT Cleaners handles. Call (888) 477-0015.
How much does crime scene cleanup cost?
It depends on the size of the scene, the type of contamination, and how far it has spread. In most cases insurance covers it and we bill the carrier directly, so families rarely pay out of pocket. We assess honestly before any work begins.
Will my neighbors know what happened?
No. Our vehicles and uniforms are unmarked and we work discreetly. The public does not need to know what happened, and we keep it that way.
Who cleans up after an unattended death?
After the coroner and funeral home finish, cleaning the property falls to the family or owner, not the county or the funeral home. A biohazard company like ACT Cleaners handles unattended death and decomposition cleanup to a verified safe standard.
