What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?

What does suicide survivor mean?
A suicide survivor is someone who has lost a person to suicide, sometimes called a loss survivor. It can also mean a person who survived an attempt. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 any time to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
Who is responsible for cleaning up after a suicide?

Can a landlord or employer hire a cleanup team?
