Welcome to the Indiana Coroners Association!


Welcome to our home on the worldwide web. We think you will find our website informative and educational. The Indiana Coroners Association is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support the coroners of Indiana through education and training, providing resources to assist in death investigations, developing strategies to prevent loss of life, and rendering support to each county coroner when requested to aid in the timely resolution of death investigators.

This mission is accomplished with the assistance and support of a number of associate members. These organizations, federal and state as well as private citizens and businesses, have joined with the coroners of Indiana to provide the additional resources necessary to complete what can be a difficult but vital task for the citizens of the counties they serve.

You must make the reservations for yourself and roommate. Please tell the hotel that you are attending the ISCA 2024 Annual Conference, as there have been discounted rooms reserved specifically for this conference.

The Indiana State Coroner’s Training Board will cover the cost of lodging for any Coroner or Deputy Coroner whose home or workplace is 50 miles away or grater from the conference site. For this conference, the ISCTB has established a “direct bill” account with Sheraton Hotel & Suites. When making this type of reservation, please tell the hotel that you are on the “direct bill account.” The hotel staff might ask for a credit card to be used at check-in for any incidentals that may occur during your stay.

You must make your hotel reservations before the cutoff date of May 20, 2024.

If the ISCTB is covering the cost of your room, you must share that room with one (1) person of the same sex from your home county (unless you are bringing your family). If you are sharing a room with your co-worker, please have the hotel place both names on the bill.

In the instance that your family is coming, they must register at the executive/registration booth for the ISCTB to pay for your room.
