Biohazard cleanup in Concord
In Concord, the city police respond to a death at home. If the state medical examiner needs an autopsy, it is done at its facility at Concord Hospital, and the family's funeral home takes the person there.

Official pageWhat families should know
You don't need to go to the medical examiner to identify someone; it is usually done where the person died. The office can't arrange viewings. That happens at the funeral home.
Autopsies are done at the state's expense, and next of kin can request the report at no charge.
None of this delays the cleanup. Once police release the home, you can call (603) 555-0105.

If you are not sure what to expect, after a death at home goes step by step.
If it happened today
- Call 911 first. If someone is hurt, or you have found someone who has died, call 911 before anything else.
- Leave the room as it is. Police and the medical examiner's investigator may need to see it. Close the door and keep people and pets out.
- Wait for the release. Cleanup starts only after the police, and the medical examiner if involved, say the home or car is released.
- Then call. Call (603) 555-0105 when you are ready. Nobody will rush you.
