Suicide cleanup in Greenville
You should not have to clean this. Someone else can, and someone else can make the call.
You can hand this to someone else
A friend, a relative, the landlord or a pastor can call for you. The company only needs the address, a rough idea of the room, and how to get in once the police and the medical examiner have finished.
You do not need to see the room again. Ask the company to call one named person with updates, and to set aside any personal belongings for the family.
Things you can ask for
- A plain vehicle, if you would rather neighbors did not notice
- A walk-through by phone instead of in person
- Photos when the room is finished
- Belongings kept and returned to one person you choose
Paying for it
Some homeowner's policies cover part of this kind of cleanup. Call the insurer and ask; if it is hard for you to make that call, a relative can help you with it. More on who pays.
