Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup after a death in the home, depending on the policy. It is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling belongings. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Workers who work with blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how it disposes of waste.
The police and the medical examiner or justice of the peace do not clean. The family or the person managing the estate books the work, and a local team can sort, remove and clean. If the death was unattended, biohazard cleanup comes first.
Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings and how many decisions remain. A small apartment can take a day or two, while a full house takes longer. A team can give a timeline after a walkthrough or a look at photos.

A calm conversation can explain how a cleanout works and what comes first.
