Suicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Who pays if the person was a tenant?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.
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.
Does a cleanup team replace grief counseling?
No. A cleanup team cleans the room and takes care of the physical aftermath. Grief is a separate and important matter. Counselors, faith leaders and support groups can help, and 988 is open to anyone in distress at any hour.
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.
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.
What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
