Suicide Cleanup planning tools

Start with the First 24 Hours Planner. It asks a few simple questions about the situation and returns a short, ordered list of what to do now, what to leave alone, and who to call. That is enough for the first day. The other tools can wait until you or a helper have the energy to compare providers, think about cost, or gather insurance paperwork.

No. Your selections stay in your browser session and are not sent to the network's servers. No tool asks for a name, an address, or any detail about the person or the circumstances. Copyable summaries are generated on your device so you can paste them into a note or an email. If you close the tab, the information is gone, so save anything you want to keep.

Anyone in charge of the property can use them. Landlords and executors often find the vetting checklist and the claim organizer most useful. The wording is written for families, but the steps are the same for whoever has authority. If you are helping a grieving household, use the tools to lay out clear options. That way the family only has to make the choices that truly belong to them.

Because a firm answer would be a guess dressed up as certainty. The tools cannot inspect the room, read your policy, or know your county's waste rules. Instead they give you ranges, risk levels, and lists of questions, which are honest outputs from limited information. A verified provider who has seen the property is the only one who can give you a real scope, a real price, and a real completion date.

They help you get ready for that call. They do not replace it. After a suicide, the room almost always has materials that federal bloodborne germ rules treat as infectious. The emotional toll of a family doing the cleanup is also serious. Use the tools to learn what a professional will do and to check that the provider you reach is believable. Then let the crew do the physical work while you and your family look after each other.

The network is a learning resource that helps readers reach cleanup companies. It does not employ crews or do the work. Providers are expected to hold the licenses and insurance their state and county require. You should check those yourself using the Provider Vetting Checklist. No referral is a promise of quality, price, or timing. So treat every crew as one you are hiring yourself, and ask for the documents before you sign.

Yes. Each tool is built to work on a small screen with large tap targets and short steps, because that is exactly where most people are when they need it. The planner and the risk check take only a few minutes. If your hands are unsteady or your focus is gone, hand the phone to whoever is with you and let them tap through while you talk it out together.
