Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can also ask the team to pause while a family member collects something.

It is not recommended. Fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and soaked materials hold odor deep below the surface. Cleanup is also emotionally hard. A professional team protects your health and spares you from seeing the room.
Crews work quietly and treat the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord, not the cleanup crew.
It can be if the person was not found right away. Odor comes from fluids soaked into carpet, padding and subfloor, and sprays only cover it for a short time. The source must be removed and the air and structure treated.
