Photos, letters, jewelry and papers are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.

How much does suicide cleanup cost?

What should families ask suicide cleanup companies before the work starts?
