What do you call this type of cleaner?

What is the word for the type of cleaners who clean houses where someone has died?

I have ADHD. I hate routine but love a good deep clean. Nothing revolts me. I think this would my perfect job but I have no idea what it might be called or how to become one!

Does it need to be someone who has died? I don’t think there’s specific cleaners for that. The owner of the house next to us rents it out, and when our previous neighbours left (leaving the house in a bit of a state) they paid their normal cleaning agency for a special all day clean. Two ladies came and were literally in and out all day. I did think there must be a bit of satisfaction in that.

Crime scene clean ups are what they are called. The companies who provide them clean for hoarders too usually and seem to be called 'extreme cleaners'.

Forensic. Costs a bit for the training but can bring in good money. It's not just cleaning after dead bodies, you get trained in all sorts of different cleans.

I think the last time I looked it was like 2 grand for a 6 week residential training thing. Going back a bit like.

Crime scene cleaners, i think specifically death scene or unattended death cleaners

I seem to remember there was a tv programme about this - a black comedy I think? It might have been Greg Davies but not sure? Can't recall either the job title?

It's called The Cleaner and it's on iPlayer.
The first one was quite funny, need to catch up on the rest.

I looked into this a while back. Pay was pretty crap from what I remember.

Yes that's it!
