How to Repatriate Remains to Mexico?

Repatriating remains to Mexico is a process that requires meeting various legal, logistical, and health-related requirements.

Legal Procedures for
Repatriation to Mexico

The Mexican consulate in the country where the death occurred must issue a special permit for the repatriation of the body or ashes. To do so, the following documents are generally required:


  • Apostilled death certificate
  • Embalming certificate (if applicable)
  • Identification of the deceased and the applicant
  • Birth certificate or official Mexican ID of the deceased
  • Funeral home document indicating the method of transportation

Legal Procedures for International Burials

If you need to transport the remains of a loved one to another country, we specialize in managing international shipments. We handle the legal paperwork, documentation, and coordination with airlines and consulates to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

Our Top Priority

Robert was a great help on the day of my grandmother's viewing and also coordinated with the company that printed the funeral program to ensure the casket box matched the design on the cover, which was a pleasant surprise. Robert was also very helpful on the day of the service and at the gravesite. Thank you for your help and support.

May God embrace you in His care and grant your family the strength to bear this loss. And to your aunt, who is my boss, I pray that she finds comfort in God and that He grants your mother the strength to endure this loss. Rest in peace, brother.
