Laura Spaulding was a cop processing a murder scene when a family member of the victim asked, “Who is going to clean this up?” The police don't do that. Spaulding found no company that specialized in this kind of work, so she founded Spaulding Decon. It's not an altogether pleasant job, but it fills a need, and Spaulding gets satisfaction from helping traumatized and grieving families avoid the horror of cleanup and return to a normal home. Her staff is trained in biological decontamination, interior restoration, and even grief counseling.
Their work involves more than murder. They also respond to suicides, accidents, and even natural deaths that require cleanup. And sometimes they even uncover evidence that the police may have overlooked before they released a crime scene. Buzzfeed News interviewed Spaulding and a few other cleanup professionals about the nature of their work and some of the more bizarre cases they have encountered.

This company also cleans up a lot of meth labs and hoarding situations, too. Their Instagram account is not for the faint of heart.
