the Embassy can notify the family at home and
provide information about the options and costs of disposition
of the remains. Costs for preparing and returning the remains
from Mexico City to the U.S. are high and the family must
pay all costs.
The Embassy also prepares a Report of Death
based on the local death certificate. This Report can be used
as proof of death in most legal proceedings in the United
States.
