# About this site

Biohazard Crown is an independent answer engine for biohazard, trauma and hoarding remediation in the United States.

## What we do not do

**We do not perform cleanup.** We have no crews, no trucks, and no capacity to do this work.

**We do not dispatch or arrange cleanup.** We will not connect you with a company, and there is no form here that sends your details anywhere.

**We do not sell leads.** Not to cleanup companies, not to franchises, not to lead brokers. Nobody pays us for your attention or your phone number.

**No page here is sponsored.** No company has reviewed, funded, or been given advance sight of anything we publish.

That independence is not a marketing line. It is the only reason you should give any weight to what we say about insurance and victim compensation. Every other page you will find on these questions was written by a company that gets paid when you call it, which is exactly why so few of them lead with *check whether you have to pay for this at all*.

## Why this site exists

Search for cleanup after a death and every result is a cleanup company. That is not sinister — it is what happens when an industry is the only party with a commercial reason to publish. But it produces a strange gap: the single most valuable thing a family can learn in the first 48 hours is that homeowners insurance often covers this and that their state may pay for it directly, and essentially nobody publishes a sourced, state-by-state guide to that.

So we built one. It is incomplete, and the pages say where it is incomplete rather than papering over it.

## How we handle what we do not know

The rule we work to is simple: **never guess a cap, a deadline, or a legal requirement.**

Where a state’s compensation program does not publish its cleanup cap in materials we can read, the page says *not confirmed* and gives you the program’s name, phone number and link. A page that tells you honestly what it does not know is more useful than one that fills the gap with a plausible number — because acting on a wrong deadline can cost a family money that is not recoverable.

The same rule governs what we leave out entirely. We do not publish meth lab decontamination thresholds, state-by-state stigmatised property disclosure law, or several commonly repeated national statistics about victim compensation funding, because we could not trace them to a primary source.

## How we write about death

Every page that touches an unattended death, a suicide, a homicide or hoarding is written under a published tone mandate. It governs the language we use, what we refuse to describe, and where crisis resources appear on the page. It is enforced in our build pipeline, not just in review — a page that breaks it does not publish.

We publish the mandate in full because a rule you cannot read is not a commitment. [Read it in the editorial policy.](https://biohazardcrown.shop/editorial-policy/)

## Funding

The site currently earns nothing. The intention is display advertising later. If that happens, three things will remain true, and are written into our configuration rather than left to good intentions:

- No affiliate products on any death-related page, ever.

- No advertising at all on [/support/](https://biohazardcrown.shop/support/).

- No advertisement or call to action placed above a crisis resource block.
