Cathedral City has its own police

Unlike Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert, Cathedral City runs a police department of its own, at 68-700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero. Its non-emergency number is (760) 770-0300, and the office keeps business hours, 8 to 5 on weekdays.

It is these officers, not sheriff's deputies, who will tell you that a home has been released.

If the person lived alone and you have just arrived

Relatives from elsewhere usually have a few days to do everything. This order saves the most trouble.

  1. 1

    Confirm the release

    Ask the police whether the home has been released, and who holds the keys.

  2. 2

    Phone before you sort

    Call a cleanup company before going through belongings. The affected room may not be safe to work in, and the company can tell you which rooms are fine.

  3. 3

    Name what must be found

    A will, insurance policies, bank papers, a list of medication: say where they might be, so they are looked for and set aside instead of removed.

  4. 4

    Then the rest

    The funeral home, the landlord or the estate, the utilities. None of them needs the room to be clean first.

If nobody can act for the person

Sometimes there is no relative, or none who is able to take it on. In that case the Riverside County Public Administrator can step in to look after the estate. A neighbor, a landlord or a friend can ring the office on 951-443-2300.

The coroner for Cathedral City is the Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner. After a death at home describes how a relative is released to a funeral home.

Ready when the home has been handed back

There is no rush to phone tonight. Once police or the coroner have released the property, a single call reaches a cleanup company that works in Indio and the neighboring desert cities.

One number, any hour

Describe the room or the vehicle in your own words. An independent cleanup company takes it from there, and hiring it stays your choice.
