Homicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Westhaven, Memphis, TN
Who cleans up after a homicide?
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
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.
Will the neighbors know what happened?
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
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.
Is blood from a homicide dangerous after it dries?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and use hospital-grade disinfectants to make the area safe.
