homecare/hospice: bedding/sheets

Hello. This will be a weird question and may be thought as common sense. But I'm asking anyways.
My mom was home (from a rehab center) for 3 weeks and on chemo/other drugs but not for cancer. A month later she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer tho and passed away from it a month later. When at home she was bed-bound because of bed sores (and other things... long story), and was in adult diapers.
Should all those sheets/pillows/comforter/blankets be thrown away? What do they do in the hospitals/nursing homes with the sheets of patients who passed away? My mom also peed on a cot mattress, should that be tossed too? Or can they be cleaned and re-used?
