An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.
The price depends on how long the person was in the home, how large the affected area is and whether fluids reached the subfloor. Furniture and odor treatment also change the total. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Insurance may cover part of it.
