My youngest sister passed unexpectedly in her apartment, unattended and was not found for nearly 3 weeks. We could not afford a service to handle the cleanup, and we had less than a week to get everything out of her apartment. We had to pay for the mattress dismantling/removal, and that alone was a couple thousand dollars. We did everything else. It was the hardest thing I have ever faced and had to do in life. I wish it on no one. Fortunately for those who can afford it, there are services available.

Case workers for Public Guardian and Public Administrator offices have some of the most heartbreaking jobs there are. The things they encounter would crush your soul with the emotional devastation of it.

I am so grateful that we found our uncle the same day he had taken his life. We kept in close contact so when he didn’t return a call within the day we went to check on him. It was a horrible, traumatic experience to have found him that way, however I would never have wanted him to be left for an extended period. Unfortunately there was a significant cleanup to be done and the first company we asked took days and weren’t responding so it was over a week before the next company could do it. My husband was so angry with the first company and told them to remember that we had to be there in the house knowing what was in the basement. It’s a sensitive job for sure and takes special people to handle it with respect and for the family to be extended dignity.

Wow. Wish we had YOU guys do cleanup for us. OUR cleanup company made a bad situation WORSE. Took them a MONTH to just clean the area where my brother died, 3 months total to remove the belongings, and 4 weeks to get the dumpster out after I had to call them to tell them to get it out of there. AND there's still stuff in there, namely a part of the sectional couch he DIED on! HORRIBLE. Insurance company made the check out to my deceased brother, and I still can't do anything as probate was delayed. Today I received a certified letter from an attorney coming for me for 43,000$. So that's the charge for the cleanup plus attorney fees now. I CANT DO ANYTHING until PROBATE IS DONE. THESE people have been a nightmare since day one! Next time (God forbid) I'll clean it MYSELF. I felt so bad for the "crew". They sent ONE guy in there to clean a whole house, of course he couldn't do it alone. Kept getting the run around while my brothers secretions baked in the July heat and flies infested his home. Eventually they sent 2 women to clear an entire house. They couldn't fit the rest of the couch and I was fed up. JUST GO!

I can see a deeply spiritual person handling this work beautifully!

Interesting Topic.
