Trauma scene cleaning is a service that is increasingly being sought after in South Korea where there are approximately about 700 daily, and many of these deaths goes unattended. The typical role of a trauma scene cleaner includes cleaning up the scene left behind after a corpse is cleared.

The entire process may take up to four days.
