With sympathy
You do not have to do this part
After a suicide at home, family members sometimes feel they should clean the room themselves. You do not have to. An independent cleanup company can do it quietly. Ask whether it can arrive in plain vehicles and set aside personal items it finds.
Police and the state medical examiner's office come first. Suicide is among the deaths Oklahoma law asks the medical examiner to investigate. When they have finished, the room can be cleaned.
Ask a friend or relative to make the call with you if that helps. You can give as little detail as you like.
Questions
Will neighbors know what the company is there for?
Ask the company. Many can arrive in plain vehicles and clothing and change into protective gear inside.
Can personal items be saved?
Items that are not contaminated can usually be set aside. Ask the company to show you before anything is thrown away.
Where can family members get support?
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is for anyone in emotional distress, including people who have lost someone. Call or text 988.
