This section addresses the concerns and questions that people and their families often face when they have been repatriated or are in the process. Identify your case and know the options you have to solve it.

What should I do if I need to repatriate the remains of a family member or close friend?

Consulates can offer advice on the transfer of a deceased family member or friend in the U.S. and information on funeral agencies familiar with the repatriation of remains to Mexico from the U.S. In some cases Consulates can help cover some of the costs of the repatriation process. 

It is very important that a family member takes care of all the corresponding arrangements for the deceased person. The family member or friend must present the following documentation at the Consulate:

  1. Funeral home contract.
  2. Birth certificate of the deceased family member or proof of Mexican nationality.
  3. Current Mexican identification of the immediate family member.
