No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
What happens to belongings and keepsakes?
Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to go. The team tells you what it finds, so you decide what matters.
