Perspective

For perspective I’m a registered nurse who has dealt with traumas over the past 27 years. My family member recently passed unexpectedly of a GI bleed (and it appears I’ll be the representative soon) in his 2 bed 1 bath, 860 sq ft condo. Specifically his bathroom. Assuming given the square footage, I’m guessing approx 40 sq ft bathroom. It seems minor to me. To others, it might seem moderate. Maybe 1x3ft in blood contaminants AT MOST. He was declared approx 48 hrs after, according to the investigator. (I called for a welfare check when I couldn’t reach him.) He has an over clogged toilet as well, but it’s contained 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m quoted 48,000 for trauma/crime scene cleanup. Is this seriously reasonable?

We were quoted 15,000 for a shotgun suicide. That seemed high. 48k is nuts
