Common Questions About Dead Body Cleanup in Central Park Heights, Baltimore, MD

What is considered an unattended death?

An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.

Who cleans up after a dead body is removed?

A biohazard cleanup team does. After the funeral home or the medical examiner takes the person from the home, the room still holds fluids and odor. Cleanup technicians remove contaminated materials, disinfect and treat the air.

Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?

In many cases no. Ask the team how access and keys can be set up. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside photos, papers and keepsakes for you.

Who is responsible for cleaning up after a death?

Police and the medical examiner do not clean. The property owner, the family or the estate books and pays for cleanup. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays, and a landlord or an attorney can explain the details.

What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?

Workers who handle blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it disposes of waste.

Does homeowners insurance cover unattended death cleanup?

Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
