Unattended Death Cleanup in Murfreesboro
In a city as large as Murfreesboro, with apartments and subdivisions on every side, unattended deaths occur. Once the medical examiner releases the home, we clean the affected area discreetly and remove the source of odor.
After a death that went undiscovered, we remove affected materials, clean and disinfect the home and deal with odor at its source, beginning only once authorities have released the property. Belongings are reviewed with the family before anything is discarded.

What to know in Murfreesboro
In a city of Murfreesboro's size, many people live alone, and in apartment communities and large subdivisions a death can go unnoticed for days. When it does, the Rutherford County medical examiner authorizes moving the person who died, and the home is released afterward. Your loved one is taken into care by the examiner's office or a funeral home, never by a cleanup company. Families who need help navigating the next steps can call us once that release is in hand.
Where a loved one died while receiving end-of-life care at home, the situation is usually less complex, but bedding, mattresses and flooring may still need attention. Our hospice home death cleanup service handles that gently. When more time has passed, our subfloor and structural remediation work addresses fluids that have moved below the floor surface, which in historic homes near downtown can mean original wood floors and plaster walls. We describe each layer we remove so your contractor knows exactly what to rebuild.
For a step-by-step explanation of the process, safety precautions and what we hand to other specialists, see our main unattended death cleanup page.
