What to Do in the First Hours

When you are standing in the aftermath of a loss, it helps to know what you do not have to do. For families across La Crosse, here is that list.

You do not have to clean anything

The scene is not yours to handle — not by law, and not by safety. Biological material can carry pathogens for days. Trained, protected technicians exist for exactly this reason.

You do not have to decide quickly

There is no deadline to call us. Tend to your family first. When you reach out, whenever that is, we will be ready.

You do not have to face the insurance maze

We document the scene and file directly with your carrier, so you are not left navigating claims in the middle of grief.

You do not have to go back into the room

Many families tell us this is what they feared most. You never have to re-enter the space. We handle it, and we return your home to you safe.

What to do instead

Be with the people you love. If anyone is struggling, call or text 988. And when you are ready, call us.

If you are facing this right now, you do not have to decide everything alone. Call Coulee Bio Recovery at (608) 402-4738 — a real person answers, 24 hours a day.
