What Is Decomposition and Unattended Death Cleanup?
Unattended death cleanup is the process of cleaning and disinfecting after a person has died and started to decompose. Depending on the extent of decomposition, the body could release bodily fluids that contain diseases or harmful bacteria. Decomposition can also attract insects or pests that spread these diseases or carry their own. Our biohazard and decomposition cleanup technicians are trained to safely remove contaminated items and disinfect your home or business.
What Is an Unattended Death?
An unattended death is when a person dies alone. Typically the body is not discovered for days, weeks or even months. As a result, the body has started to decompose. Although many unattended deaths happen at home, they can take place anywhere.
Most unattended deaths are due to natural causes, especially if the deceased person was elderly. However, they may also occur due to a tragic accident, a sudden health issue like a heart attack or a suicide. Homicides might also be considered unattended if the deceased is not found for a period of time.

How Much Does Unattended Death Cleanup Cost?
Depending on circumstances, you can expect unattended death cleanup to cost anywhere from $2,500 to $7,500 or more. While that is a large range, there are many factors that determine the cost of decomposing body cleanup services.
