Suicide cleanup in Lincoln
If you have lost someone to suicide, you should not have to clean the place where it happened. A cleanup company can do it quietly, when you are ready.

What happens, in order
Officers and the coroner’s office will be involved first. They will tell you when the person has been taken into care and the home is released. Ask for the report number.
When you call, you can keep it short. Say it was a suicide, which room, and whether the police have released the home. The company will ask what it needs.
You do not need to be there while the work is done. Many families hand over a key and wait to hear that it is finished.
Things to tell the company
- If there are personal items in the room you want kept, even if they look damaged.
- If anyone in the home, such as a child or an older relative, should not see the work.
- Whether you want unmarked vehicles, if that matters to you.
- Whether the home is rented, so the landlord can be included.

When you are ready, make one call
Say what happened, where, and whether the police or the coroner's office are still involved. The company will ask a few questions and explain what it would do. You decide whether to go ahead.
