Where can I find support after a loss to suicide?
The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline answers calls and texts at 988, 24/7. Funeral homes, faith communities, doctors and counselors can also help you find grief support. A cleanup team cleans the room, but it is not a replacement for people who can help you heal.
Is the odor a concern after a suicide?
It can be if the person was not found right away. Odor comes from fluids soaked into carpet, padding and subfloor, and sprays only cover it for a short time. The source must be removed and the air and structure treated.
How long does suicide cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the affected area and how far fluids spread. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger one or one with odor in the structure takes longer. The team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch anything. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself, and know that 988 offers support by call or text if you need to talk.
Does homeowners insurance cover suicide cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Read the policy closely or ask the insurer directly. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call before cleanup starts and keep every receipt.
What should families ask suicide cleanup companies before the work starts?
Ask how the team protects privacy, whether it arrives in unmarked vehicles, and which items it will keep for the family. Ask how biohazard waste is hauled and how the work is documented for the insurance company.
