What does homicide scene cleaning involve?
Homicide scene cleaning is the specialized removal of blood, tissue, bodily fluids and investigation residue after a violent death. Trained technicians in full protective gear locate every trace of contamination, take out materials that cannot be made safe, disinfect what remains with EPA-registered products, and send contaminated waste for proper medical waste disposal.
The part no one tells you about
After investigators leave, many families are surprised to learn that cleaning the scene falls to them. Police, the medical examiner and the funeral home each have a role, but none of them clean the home. What is left behind is often far more than it looks: blood that has traveled under flooring, spatter on ceilings and vents, and fingerprint dust on nearly every surface.
We exist so you never have to face that alone. Our technicians work methodically, room by room, and treat your home and belongings with the same respect we would want for our own family. You can stay somewhere else while we work, and we will call you when it is done.
Situations we handle after a homicide
- A home or apartment released by Metro Nashville Police
- A business, office or storefront where a death occurred
- Blood that has soaked into carpet, furniture or a mattress
- Spatter on walls, ceilings, doors and light fixtures
- Fingerprint dust and chemical residue left by investigators
- A vehicle, garage or outdoor area connected to the scene
Why this should never be a do-it-yourself job
Beyond the emotional toll, a homicide scene carries real health risks that ordinary cleaning cannot fix.
Bloodborne disease
Blood can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, and some of these viruses stay infectious on dried surfaces for days.
Contamination you cannot see
Fluids flow under baseboards, into subflooring and inside walls, where they keep feeding bacteria and odor.
Emotional harm
Family members who clean a loved one's death scene often carry those images for years. You deserve to be spared that.
Waste rules
Blood-soaked materials have to be packaged and disposed of as regulated medical waste, not set out with the trash.
How we restore a home after a homicide
Every scene is different, but our approach is always careful, thorough and respectful.
Private walkthrough
We confirm the scene has been released, walk through with you or your representative if you wish, and explain the plan in plain language.
Containment and protection
Affected rooms are sealed off and technicians suit up in protective gear so contamination does not spread to the rest of the property.
Removal of affected materials
Anything that blood has soaked into and cannot be made safe is carefully removed, with your approval.
- Carpet, pad and rugs
- Upholstered furniture and bedding
- Drywall, trim or subfloor sections when needed
Cleaning and decontamination
Every surface is cleaned and treated with hospital-grade disinfectants, and fingerprint dust is lifted from walls, doors and fixtures.
Verification and odor control
We check our work with detection tools and treat any lingering odor at its source, so the space feels like home again.
Disposal and documentation
Contaminated waste goes out for medical waste disposal and you receive photos and an itemized report for insurance.

Homicide scene cleaning across Nashville and Middle Tennessee
A violent death changes a place in ways that are hard to put into words. Our job is to remove every physical trace of that event so the people who live or work there can begin to move forward. That means going far beyond the stains you can see and following contamination wherever it went.
We coordinate with property managers, insurance adjusters and estate representatives so the family does not have to make a dozen phone calls. Most homeowner's and commercial policies cover this kind of cleanup, and we provide the itemized documentation adjusters ask for.
Our crews serve Nashville, Davidson County and the six surrounding counties. We arrive in unmarked vans, dress in plain clothes on arrival and never discuss the work with neighbors or onlookers.

Safe for the next person

Homicide scene cleaning questions
Honest answers to what families ask us most. More on our questions page.
Talk with us nowWho pays for homicide scene cleaning?
In most cases the property owner's homeowner's, renter's or commercial insurance covers it. Tennessee's crime victim compensation program may also help with some costs. We provide the paperwork either way.
How soon can you start?
As soon as law enforcement releases the scene. Call us beforehand and we can be ready to begin the same day in most of Nashville.
Do I need to be there?
No. Many families prefer to stay elsewhere. We can arrange access with you, a relative or a property manager and update you by phone.
Can you save personal belongings?
Often, yes. We set aside photos, documents, jewelry and keepsakes, and clean salvageable items whenever it is safe to do so.
Will the neighbors know what happened?
Our vans are unmarked, our crew dresses in plain clothes on arrival, and we never discuss the job with anyone but you.
How long does the cleanup take?
Many scenes are finished in a single day. Larger scenes that require flooring or drywall removal can take two to three days.
