Who Handles Suicide Cleanup?
The suicide of someone you care about is not something anybody likes to think about. Those dealing with this type of situation have a lot to think about, and are navigating unfamiliar territory. Not knowing what to do or who to call for help is one of the many challenges you’re facing right now. The first step is to call first responders, but what next? After law enforcement, paramedics, and the coroner leave, the responsibility of cleaning up falls on the family. While that doesn't mean the family must be the ones to do the cleaning, they just need to know who to call. It’s recommended that the family seek help from a professional biohazard remediation company, like T.A.C.T. Central Arkansas, that specializes in this work.
Just as first responders address the immediate situation, we serve as the last responders, ensuring the affected area is cleaned, decontaminated, and restored to a safe, habitable state.
