Family Liaison and Property Access Plan After a Suicide

Use one family liaison and one property decision-maker, and keep their jobs separate. The liaison protects people from repetitive calls and graphic updates; the property decision-maker confirms scene release, controls access, approves a written remediation scope, tracks personal property, and receives the closeout file.

No cleanup company should present itself as a mental-health provider or promise that a property decision will resolve grief.
