What paperwork is needed for the claim?

Will the smell go away?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
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.

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.
