Clearing the home of a loved one who has passed away is often hard. There is no need to do everything alone and at once: take time to sort what matters, then entrust the rest to a team that works discreetly and respectfully.
Before the clearance
- Check with the notary or heirs what can be removed and when.
- Set aside important documents: paperwork, bank, insurance, deeds, photos.
- Let each relative choose the keepsakes they want.
- Identify items to sell or donate (charities, reuse centres).
On the day
A professional team empties the rooms, dismantles furniture if needed, protects access routes and takes everything away. Waste is sorted and taken to recycling centres; appliances follow their own route. The home is left clean, ready for sale, rental or works.
