What is natural death cleanup?
Natural death cleanup is the removal and disinfection of bodily fluids and contaminated items after a person has died of natural causes at home. It includes removing soiled bedding, mattresses or furniture, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, protecting personal belongings, and treating any odor.
Care for the home, respect for the family
When a person dies, the body releases fluids. If a loved one is found soon after passing, contamination may be limited to the bed or chair. If more time has passed, it can reach the mattress core, flooring and subfloor. Either way, families should not have to handle it.
We treat natural death cleanups with particular gentleness. We work around the things that matter to you, protect personal belongings and leave the room clean and peaceful. If more time passed than anyone knew, we are equipped for the full decomposition cleanup process.
