Transfer Services
Direct Ship Out to Mexico
This service is characterized by a lack of vigil service. Once your loved one’s remains are in our care, we immediately begin the task of transportation to your chosen destination.
​
Our 25 years of experience supports us as we offer you funeral transfers to all parts of the Mexican Republic. We work alongside and have built relationships with the Mexican Consulates in the United States, and we also have cooperation agreements for the provision of repatriate and transfer funeral services with various government entities in Mexico.
​
Through these cooperation agreements and the assistance of the Mexican Consulates in the United States, Continental Funeral Home is committed to offering the necessary information required by the Mexican authorities in order to facilitate and streamline the repatriation process. This includes the presentation of any of the following documents that verify the Mexican nationality of the deceased:
​
Birth Certificate
Voter Identification
Driver’s License
Military Service Passbook
Passport
Consular Registration
Declaration of Nationality
​
Continental Funeral Home handles the death certificate process dealing with the United States Department of Health in the county of the deceased; furthermore we also obtain any necessary documents (and their Spanish-language translations) whose presentation is required before the relevant consular in order to obtain the visa and certification that permits the internment of the body within Mexican territory.
​
For further information, feel free to contact our team of funeral counselors, who will warmly and compassionately guide you step by step through the repatriation process as well as offer you more complete information regarding this type of funeral service.

This service does not include any religious or otherwise public service before the departure. Upon receiving the deceased into our care we immediately begin all of the necessary procedures in order to complete the transfer as soon as possible and make the waiting period less painful for friends and family in the destination country.
