It should be left to professionals. Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens and often soak deeper than they look. A crew contains the area, removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor.

No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
