Where can I find support after a loss to suicide?
The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline answers calls and texts at 988, 24/7. Funeral homes, faith communities, doctors and counselors can also help you find grief support. A cleanup team cleans the room, but it is not a replacement for people who can help you heal.

Photos, letters, jewelry and papers are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
Will the neighbors know?
Crews work quietly and treat the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord, not the cleanup crew.
