Lake Secession Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered

Who cleans up murder scenes?

Specialized homicide cleaners do. Police and investigators gather evidence and then leave. After the scene is released, the owner, family or estate can book a homicide cleanup crew to remove the hazards.

Is the family expected to clean the scene?

No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.

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.

What should I tell the insurance company?

Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

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.
