Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.

Compassionate help from the first call to the final inspection.
