How do I choose a homicide cleanup company?
Ask what training the crew has, how waste is disposed of, what records you get and how privacy is protected. A good company explains each step in plain words and answers questions before work starts.
Who cleans up after a homicide?
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.

Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts and ask what applies.

Many families find support through victim services, counselors and faith communities. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 anytime. The cleanup crew focuses on the property so you can focus on healing.
