What to know in Sewanee
A university community is close-knit, and a suicide or serious accident affects colleagues, classmates and neighbors as well as family. Privacy matters. We work quietly, keep the details of the job to ourselves, and coordinate with whoever the family designates. Our suicide cleanup page explains how the work proceeds without graphic detail. The room is cleaned and disinfected, absorbent materials are removed if needed, and anything requiring repair is explained so the family can decide.
Accidents in workshops, kitchens and outdoor spaces on the plateau can also call for trauma cleanup. Public incident cleanup applies when an event occurs in a shared space such as a parking area or building entrance, provided the responsible owner or institution authorizes us. We are not a counseling service, and families and colleagues should lean on clergy, counselors and their doctors. Campus communities usually have their own counseling resources as well, and students should ask their school what is available.
For a step-by-step explanation of the process, safety precautions and what we hand to other specialists, see our main trauma scene cleanup page.
