WHAT WE DO:  Upon the death of a member, a phone call to the Executive Secretary initiates the process to carry out the wishes of the member as set forth in their Membership Application.  The process includes disposition of the body according to the member’s wishes, contacting family and friends, assistance in arranging funeral or services as requested, registering death with Mexican authorities and supplying a Mexican death certificate to the appropriate survivor.

THE TYPE OF SERVICES WE OFFER:  Two basic types of services are offered: cremation and burial.  Cremation with or without a niche.  Burial in a crypt or a grave.   Any service performed outside of San Miguel will incur an additional cost which will be charged to the member’s estate.

WHAT DOES IT COST?  Membership fees are indicated in U.S. dollars but may be paid in the equivalent Mexican peso amount.  Payment can be made by check or in cash. 

Interred in a niche with a plaque in our separate section of the Guadalupe cemetery                    $1,500

Burial in our separate section of the Guadalupe cemetery in a crypt with a plaque                               $1,500

In the ground with headstone        $1,500

There is a two-month grace period once a person joins.  If the member should pass away before the two-month period, the association reserves the right to return the member’s application fee (minus administrative fee) and deny services or charge an additional $200 dollars to proceed with our services.

MEMBERSHIP: Open to all residents of San Miguel.  Membership fees are refundable upon request. Due to the ever fluctuating value of the dollar, a dollar payment will immediately be converted to a peso equivalent.  A dollar refund will be made based on the peso value of the original payment.  A $200 dollar administrative fee will be charged for all refunds.   Allow 60 days from time of request for refund.

Membership requires completion of the 24 Hour Application, payment of the desired service, a photocopy of the front two pages of your passport, a photocopy of your birth certificate and a certified Spanish translation of same.  Women may also need to provide a photocopy of a marriage certificate if the surname of their birth certificate differs from that on their passport.  In such a case, a certified Spanish translation of the marriage certificate is  required.   In the case of a legal name change, that also requires a certified Spanish translation.
