What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?

Who decides what is kept and what is removed?
The family or the person handling the estate decides. The team follows those directions and should confirm them with one point of contact. For legal questions about authority over a home and its contents, ask an attorney.
Can the team find and keep valuables?
Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.

It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings, stairs and access, and whether biohazard cleanup is needed. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Ask what the range includes.
How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?
