Many families find support through victim services, counselors and faith communities. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 anytime. The cleanup crew focuses on the property so you can focus on healing.

What should I tell the insurance company?

Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

Will the smell go away?

How to clean a murder scene?
