This is interesting, what would happen if for instance one decided to do it in a hotel ? Would the deceased's family have to pay for the clean-up service ? Would they sue the family for damage done to the property ?

No way.

People who do that job must have really unique outlook on life.

There's too many countries and hotels. Maybe it varies? https://www.cracked.com/personal-ex...-facts-about-people-dying-in-hotel-rooms.html for example claims they sometimes charge the credit card of the deceased for the cleanup bill. But other things might happen as well.

Plenty of them in New York. We don't even think twice when we see the truck.

Your family can never be held accountable for your debts. If anything the hotel will claim it from your estate. If you have no money or assets, tough luck

A lot of the staff are former military/law enforcement/paramedics so they are accustomed to being around gore. For a "cleaning" job it also pays exceptionally well. It's not a bad gig if you have the stomach for it and are able to compartmentalize stuff. High turnover rate though.

Hello,
I believe they can charge your credit card that is held in their files when you check in. If your card has low credit limit or is already charged up to it's limit, then of course the hotel has no recourse, especially if you have no estate either.

Your credit card is part of your estate, along with all your other assets. We both said the same thing just worded differently lol

My only personal experience of something like this was when I had to sign off on an invoice from a firm of German undertakers for cleaning a light locomotive and half a kilometre of narrow gauge track after a suicide at an ammunition depot.

So I've always assumed that undertakers (morticians) take on this sort of work, if you pay enough.

Credit cards are not considered estate in USA. Credit card is a debt- a liability owed. Estate is assets owned- Cash, investments, House, cars, jewelry, land etc. Estate is used to pay off all debts, including credit cards, and taxes. Big difference in an asset vs. liability.

In some places, like Japan, they do fine the families. I'm not sure if it's changed since I studied this, but like if someone jumps in front of a train, the Japan railway system bills their family or estate for damages.

What if you had no money or property?

What if you had no money or property?

Then they're out of luck. No adult can be responsible for another adult's debt, parent or not

As with all businesses, hotels are going to carry insurance for property damage. The insurance company might try to recoup some money from the responsible party...but they're not going to waste their time trying to get blood from a stone, or tracking down heirs. Replacing a carpet or repainting a wall is really just part of doing business. Now, if someone decided to use explosives and reduced the entire building to rubble while killing multiple guests and staff members...then yeah, the insurance company would try to go after the estate. But if there are no assets, then that's just that.

When I posted the link to the company that specializes in trauma cleaning, I was thinking more of private homes.

Just hard to imagine that happening in your home. A nightmare for those remaining. I'd have to sell my house and move.

Yes, that's how I understood your original post. I was just responding to posters who seemed to be worried about who pays for the damage done in a hotel room.

And I agree, it would be horrifically traumatizing for the people who reside in the private home something like this occurred. That's why I would hope that most people have enough consideration for their oved ones to NOT cbt at home (and if they do it elsewhere, then at least choose a method that requires minimal clean-up).
