Photos, letters, jewelry and papers are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
Can a landlord or employer hire a cleanup team?
Yes. Landlords, property managers and employers can hire cleanup of a unit or workplace. The team works discreetly so other tenants or coworkers are protected. Ask what documentation you get with the work.
Can I clean up after a suicide myself?
