Once a person has passed away and the decision of where their body will be deposited, either in a chapel or in a cemetery, has been made, the preparation for a complete funeral service begins, which includes the placement of tombstones, monuments, and identification plates. But when is the right time to contact a funeral agency after the loss of a loved one?
In Mexico City, it is estimated that the approximate cost to bury a loved one is around 6,335 pesos at a minimum, covering an economical metallic coffin, the hall, and the necessary equipment. On the other hand, maximum costs can rise up to 74,711 pesos, depending on the selected memorial package. These expenses include the purchase of coffins, caskets, and body transfers, as well as the use of chapels, wake equipment, and arrangements for the transfer and final disposition of the body.
It is essential to take into account the wishes and preferences of the deceased regarding the preparation of their body, as many express how they would like to be styled, dressed, and made up. Options for cremation or burial are also important considerations, with variable costs determined by local authorities.
The Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco) in Mexico has shared detailed information about the costs of funeral services in various regions of the country, which may include coffins, wake services, and transfers. In Mexico City, the government offers a support program with accessible costs for cremation or burial processes.
If it is necessary to request funeral services in Mexico City, residents of the municipalities must gather the necessary documentation, which includes official identification, application form, and proof of payment. For burial or burial procedures, a medical death certificate and other specific documents are required, which must be processed in person at the corresponding offices.
The organization of funeral services is essential under such delicate circumstances, and it is recommended to contact a funeral agency once the death certificate is obtained from the medical personnel of a clinic. Although in Mexico, the Day of the Dead is celebrated with joy and color, the process of providing a proper burial for a loved one requires formal procedures and arrangements.
In summary, funeral services encompass the handling, treatment, conditioning, and transfer of the deceased's body, as well as the management of the necessary legal and administrative aspects for their burial or cremation according to established preferences and regulations.
