Will the neighbors know what happened?
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.

Insurance comes first. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may pay up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays.
Does homeowners insurance cover homicide cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts and ask what applies.
How do I apply to the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program?
