We approach these calls with particular care. The family is often still in the building. We work without commentary, without curiosity, and without ever leaving evidence of our visit. Insurance handled directly.
A suicide scene is a medical, biological and emotional event. Most of our technicians have been doing this work for a decade or more — long enough to understand that the family is often still in the building, and that what you most need is for someone to handle the hardest part without you having to ask twice.
Our crews are unmarked. Our equipment is moved in plain bins. We do not use a clipboard in the driveway. We work behind containment — you do not have to see anything you do not want to see — and when we leave, the room reads as a room again.
Every technician is IICRC bio-recovery certified, OSHA bloodborne pathogen trained, and background-checked. We coordinate with the funeral home, law enforcement, and your insurance adjuster on your behalf. You handle the parts only you can handle. We handle ours.
Every line item below is part of the standard scope. We don't add charges that weren't on the written estimate.
Full Category 3 / OPIM cleanup to OSHA standard, hospital-grade decontamination.
Personal items of significance recovered, cleaned where possible, presented to the family.
We work with whichever funeral home your family has chosen — directly, and without you having to relay messages.
If detectives are still on scene, we wait quietly outside until released; if they have left, we pick up where they did.
Plain civilian clothing on approach. Equipment carried in once inside. Neighbors will not know.
Photos and reports go only to the file. We do not photograph beyond what the carrier requires.
Most policies cover this; we handle the carrier so you do not have to make that call yourself.
A signed certificate of decontamination, sealed to your file.
Call us as soon as the medical examiner has released the scene. The longer the scene sits, the harder remediation becomes — and the harder it is on whoever has to live with it being there.
If you are calling on behalf of someone else (a parent, a sibling, a tenant), tell us that and we will handle the dispatch and the carrier without involving the bereaved unless they want to be involved. We do this every day. We know how to do it kindly.
Most suicide cleanup scenes range from $2,000 to $15,000 depending on contamination spread and reconstruction needed. Homeowner's and renter's insurance typically covers biohazard remediation. Victim-of-crime funds may also apply in some states.
We bill insurance directly in the majority of cases. Estimates are always free, written, and never obligate you to proceed.
