Is there emotional support available?

How to clean a murder scene?
It should be left to professionals. Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens and often soak deeper than they look. A crew contains the area, removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor.
Do I need to be there during cleanup?
No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
When can homicide cleanup begin?
Only after law enforcement releases the scene. In Texas, a justice of the peace or a medical examiner, depending on the county, looks into certain deaths. Ask the police when the property can be entered.
