Suicide Cleanup in Cullman, Warrior, Decatur, Jasper and All Throughout Alabama
Cleaning up after a loved one commits suicide is perhaps the most emotionally daunting task imaginable. Nobody is prepared for that level of trauma, and that is where services like Bio-One come in to lend a helping hand.
With three local offices in Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, and serving all Cullman County, Blount County, Walker County and all Alabama counties, Bio-One is Cullman's Crime Scene & Trauma Cleaning Specialist.

We offer 24/7 service to help you when you need someone immediately, as well as lend you an ear and emotional support if that is something you need.
Very often we get called by families who have attempted to clean up the aftermath of a suicide themselves - we highly recommend to call a professional, and not do it yourself. Not only to save yourself from the emotional trauma, but because it's unsafe, and unnecessary.
It's unnecessary because homeowner's insurance covers this type of cleanup - in fact, we rarely encounter a case where it isn't covered by insurance. Bio-One initiates the claims process for you, and does not take advantage of the insurance company - we are actually affordable. It's also unsafe because of bloodborne pathogens, improper PPE when cleaning, unsafe working conditions among many other reasons.

As described on LawEnforcementMuseum.org:
Since 9/11 law enforcement has come together – in partnership with other agencies, the private sector, and the general public – to help make us all safer. In response to the threats raised by 9/11, law enforcement has seen changes in the areas of intelligence collection and analysis, interagency partnerships and information sharing, technology and innovation, training and preparation, and community engagement.
The National Law Enforcement Museum will present a new exhibition to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and honor the officers who rose to the challenge that day. This will be the first exhibition to focus on the significant changes to U.S. law enforcement that occurred in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
The exhibit opens August 27, 2021 and tickets are available for purchase.
To learn more about the exhibit, register for the August 19 virtual conversation The Post-9/11 Story: Questions, Reflections, and a Museum Exhibit.

If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (en español: 1-888-628-9454; deaf and hard of hearing: dial 711, then 1-800-273-8255) or the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and the second leading cause of death (after accidents) for people aged 10 to 34. And according the CDC, published reports from 2020 suggest that the pandemic has had a negative effect on children’s mental health.
“Beginning in April 2020, the proportion of children’s mental health–related ED visits among all pediatric ED visits increased and remained elevated through October. Compared with 2019, the proportion of mental health–related visits for children aged 5–11 and 12–17 years increased approximately 24%. and 31%, respectively.”
Researchers have yet to link recent suicides to the pandemic since 2020 suicide data is not yet available. But on the ground, there's growing concern.
The February 2021 NPR article “Child Psychiatrists Warn That The Pandemic May Be Driving Up Kids' Suicide Risk” explores possible correlation. Takeaways include:
For ways to help kids at risk, NPR encourages readers to read Part 2 of their story, “Make Space, Listen, Offer Hope: How To Help A Child At Risk Of Suicide”.
