How much does it cost to spread ashes at sea in Mexico?

Scattering ashes at sea has become increasingly popular among Mexicans. Many consider this type of ceremony to be much more natural, beautiful and relaxing for their loved ones compared to a traditional burial.

To scatter the cremated remains of their loved one at sea, family and friends board the yacht and travel to the desired location. Upon arrival, the captain will place the boat in a stable position. At that point the ceremony and tribute can begin. The ceremony can range from prayers, moving remarks, singing and even family members reciting poetry.

Then family and friends often throw flowers or even a bouquet along with the biodegradable urn to create a ceremony area. Then the captain can circle the area while family and friends take pictures and say goodbye for the last time.

Laws and Regulations

For the dispersion of ashes certain conditions must be met in order to be as environmentally friendly as possible: the use of natural flowers and wreaths; notification to Semarnat; ensuring that ashes are scattered at least three nautical miles from the beach; and using a biodegradable urn..

The laws and regulations for scattering ashes at sea are quite soft compared to burials. However, it must comply with some guidelines of the Environmental Agency (Semarnat), for example:

While the ash itself does not affect water quality, do not disperse any non-biodegradable elements. For example, wreaths and personal items may contain plastic or metal parts that can harm wildlife or create litter.
Spread the ashes in a place away from buildings and where people swim.
Many people do not care about the rules and scatter wherever they or the deceased wishes. Although we do not approve, it is doubtful that patrols are looking for people dumping ashes in the wrong places. Of course, that is at your own discretion.

The benefits of spreading ashes from a yacht include:

Total privacy.
You are totally surrounded by a beautiful view.
The colors are white and blue. They help to create a relaxed and positive atmosphere.
Celebration of the ceremony with friends and family only.
Dispersion at sea has infinite possibilities.
The ceremony is about saying goodbye and creating an eternal memory of the release of the person you love.

One of the benefits of scattering ashes at sea, which you don’t get with a standard funeral, is that it gives you more time to think about how you can express how much your loved one means to you. There are no particular rules for the ceremony of dispersal at sea.

Tips

Consider how many people will attend the ceremony when deciding on the boat. Be sure to discuss any special requests with your company beforehand to make sure they can accommodate your plans.
Beware the wind: one of the most common stories told about scattering ashes at sea is the family opening the urn to scatter the ashes, only to have the wind blow them back to the guests. It is often difficult to predict exactly which direction the wind will come from. This problem is eliminated by using a sealed salt urn.
Be aware of rain or storms, you may face other difficulties such as waves and strong winds, which could hinder the experience.
The summer months are a little quieter and therefore ideal for those who may suffer from motion sickness.
The water urns are designed to float smoothly, which makes the whole process much easier.
It is important to dress appropriately and be prepared for a bumpy ride. Boat decks can become slippery and keep in mind that it is often colder and windier at sea, so be sure to bring a sweater and jacket. If you or your assistants are prone to motion sickness, take appropriate medication beforehand.

Who has the right to the ashes of their loved one?
It is not uncommon for family quarrels to arise over the possession or right to the ashes of the deceased after cremation.
In what scenarios might such fights arise?
A common example is when the Loved One has a second marriage, leaving a spouse who wishes the ashes to be kept or buried in a different location than the wishes of the deceased’s children.
Another example is when there is more than one child and they disagree for geographical or religious reasons. There may also be emotional reasons or a family member who wants to take control.
Who is the owner of the cremation ashes? You do not own
Understand first that you cannot own them because you are referring to a person or a body, therefore they cannot be property. However, this is completely different from having the right.
Who has the right to own cremation ashes?
* Do not take this as a lawyer’s opinion * The right to possess the ashes is likely to be the executor or whoever was in charge of the funeral or basically the person who has the contract with the funeral home.
* Not to be confused with the executor of the will.
But who has the first right to the body or the ashes? Is it the person who paid for the funeral, the next of kin, the person who signed the cremation form? And who decides who gets priority?
The starting point is that:
- No one owns a body – there is no property in a corpse.
- The person who has the right to possession of the body is the person who has the obligation to dispose of the body.
- The crematory must deliver the ashes to the person who delivered the body for cremation.
- Understand that funeral disputes are often complex and many cannot be resolved simply by applying the three rules above.
If there is a will
The person requesting cremation is entitled to possession of the ashes. If there is a dispute, then the appointed executor will have the first right of possession.
What if there is a will, but the executor dies?
Again, the person entitled to receive the ashes is the person who obtained permission for the cremation.
If the executor of the deceased requests permission for cremation but dies, then his or her personal representative.
What happens if there is no will?
Where there is no executor, the following persons who are entitled to possession of the ashes are ranked in priority:
1. The spouse or partner living with the deceased immediately prior to death.
2. Spouse.
3. The son or daughter if over 18 years of age.
4. The father of the deceased.
5. A brother or sister of the deceased over 18 years of age.
What can you do to avoid a family fight?
You can take care of your family members even when you are no longer with them by preparing a will and leaving clear instructions to avoid any unnecessary problems when the time comes.
The executor named in the will is the person who has the duty to take care of the body and arrange the funeral. This helps on who has to sign the paperwork and then take possession of the ashes..
Be sure to discuss any concerns with your attorney when drafting a will so that the executor is chosen carefully and instructions are clearly stated.
If you appoint more than one executor, make sure that they are not at odds with each other or influenced by others (it is not necessary that one executor be a family member).
A word of caution: Crematories are subject to their own regulations; if in fact someone else has arranged the funeral and signed the paperwork, they are referred to as an Applicant. These regulations may lead to the crematory or funeral home delivering the ashes to that Applicant..

Nom-035 and how to protect yourself with funeral expenses in San Luis Potosí
As a pattern. What are my obligations before Nom-035 in San Luis Potosi?
In order for companies to be more competitive – and comply with the law – they must offer a benefits package to their employees that includes medical expenses, funeral expenses, dental plan and other benefits.
NOM-035 in San Luis Potosí establishes guidelines for companies to identify and protect employees from stress.
This rule applies to all workers who are employed by a company in the national territory.
Many companies in our country are facing this situation, however, it is important to know about the obligations that the employer has to comply with at the time of death due to occupational hazards and how to prevent financial penalties for such events.
What does the law say about the death of a worker?
The Federal Labor Law establishes the following:
Article 500
When the risk results in the death or disappearance derived from a criminal act of the worker, the indemnity shall include:
- I. Two months’ salary for funeral expenses; and
- II. The payment of the amount fixed in article 502.
Article 501
They shall be entitled to compensation in cases of death or disappearance resulting from a criminal act:
- I. The widow or widower, children under eighteen years of age and those over this age if they have a disability of fifty percent or more, as well as children up to twenty-five years of age who are studying in any school of the national educational system; in no case will the investigation of economic dependence be carried out, given that these claimants have the presumption in their favor of economic dependence;
- II. The ascendants will concur with the persons mentioned in the previous section without the need to carry out an economic investigation, unless it is proven that they were not economically dependent on the worker;
- III. In the absence of a surviving spouse, the person with whom the worker lived as if he/she were his/her spouse during the five years immediately preceding his/her death, or with whom he/she had children, will concur with the persons indicated in the two previous fractions, without the need to make a financial investigation, provided that both had remained free of marriage during the cohabitation;
- IV. The persons who were economically dependent on the worker will concur with those who are contemplated in any of the hypotheses of the previous fractions, having to prove the economic dependency, and
- V.In the absence of the persons mentioned in the previous fractions, the Mexican Social Security Institute.
Article 502
In case of death or disappearance derived from a delinquent act of the worker, the indemnity corresponding to the persons referred to in the preceding article will be the amount equivalent to the amount of five thousand days of salary, without deducting the indemnity received by the worker during the time he/she was subject to the temporary disability regime.
How can we protect ourselves before the law in the event of a worker’s death?
If we do the numbers, the amount to be paid for indemnity is very high, but for this payment to proceed, the following must be taken into account: did the owner of the business affiliate the deceased employee with the IMSS?

If the answer is yes, the Social Security Law (article 53) mentions the following:
Article 53
The employer who has insured the workers in his service against occupational risks will be relieved, under the terms of this Law, from complying with the obligations regarding liability for this type of risks established in the Federal Labor Law.

This means that the Social Security Law relieves the employer of the aforementioned obligations set forth in the Federal Labor Law.

What is the Cheapest Way to Bury a Loved One?
Losing a loved one is difficult under any circumstances. However, if it is sudden it may be more difficult. Not only does the impact have to be processed, but also an unforeseen cash outlay has to be assumed.
When looking for the most economical way to bury a loved one, many people think first of traditional burials. However, this type of farewell can be financially difficult. When it comes to laying your loved one to rest, direct or simple cremation can be more cost effective and also offers more flexible memorial options.
Even the most economical way to bury a loved one can be expensive.
The least expensive traditional funeral option is an immediate burial. The remains of your loved one are collected, transported to a funeral home while the medical death certificate and death certificate are obtained from the Civil Registry, and then taken to the cemetery for burial.. This process can already be costly because it includes transfers, permits and the casket.
An immediate burial does not include the cost of a grave. If your loved one has not yet chosen a site and has not paid for it, this is an additional cost.
These are some examples of cemetery prices in some cities in Mexico:
An inexpensive grave in a public cemetery starts at approximately $5,000 pesos and the price can vary greatly depending on the location. For example, the average price of a grave in a private cemetery is $40,000 pesos. After purchasing the space, the cost of casket placement, plaque and maintenance must be added.
If you lose your loved one suddenly and are on a limited budget, you may want to consider a less expensive funeral arrangement.
Immediate burials are more urgent and a memorial service should be planned fairly quickly. This can put a lot of unnecessary pressure on families, who deserve the flexibility to plan a meaningful and inexpensive farewell on their own time.
Cremation is Simple and Economical, it is the cheapest way to bury your loved one.
Cremation is an efficient and less expensive way to care for your loved one’s remains after a sudden death. Your loved one is picked up, all necessary permits are processed and the remains are taken to the crematory. The ashes are returned to him a few hours later in a beautiful wooden urn. That way, you can take your time to find a burial option that is to your liking, or memorialize your loved one in another way such as a gathering at your home, scattering the ashes at sea, or keeping the urn at home.
When looking for a direct cremation service, you should choose a provider that offers:
- An economical initial cost.
- Transparent pricing. Some cremation providers add additional costs (these additional costs should be discussed in a transparent manner).
- Complete attention to the family. Your cremation provider should be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you navigate the entire cremation process, from the initial paperwork to picking up your loved one and delivering their ashes.
- Your loved one’s ashes are returned to your home. After cremation, you should be able to have your loved one’s ashes delivered directly to your door in a timely and safe manner. That way, you never have to leave the comfort of your home.
- Flexibility to plan a farewell in your own way and time. Simple cremation gives families breathing room to plan a service that is both economical and meaningful. The ashes can be buried, scattered or kept at home.
Simple cremation is the least expensive way to bury your loved ones. It is done with respect and gives you and your family time to find the most personal burial option.
The right cremation provider takes grieving families through a simple process while reducing the financial burden of a sudden death.
Remember that Boinita is a Simple Cremation Service without a Funeral Service with the guarantee of the best price and service.

Advice on baby loss and miscarriage
Pregnancy loss and miscarriage
Just a warning before reading this post: the subject matter and content we are discussing in this article are difficult. We provide answers and information in an attempt to destigmatize pregnancy loss. If you are dealing with the loss of a baby, our heart and support is with you.
Did you know that more than 10% of pregnancies end in miscarriage? However, the issue has been largely secret. If we want to change the way we talk about miscarriage, the name itself should be changed. After all, the negative connotation of “miscarriage” falsely suggests that a woman has done something wrong.. Below we will answer some questions about pregnancy loss and what happens after the loss of a baby.
There is no “easier” miscarriage.
This is a loss. While some would say it is easier if it is within a few months, there is no such thing as an “easy” miscarriage. Yes, you will have had less time to develop a connection with your baby, but nonetheless, you will have felt the joy of watching him or her grow. If it is before, it is likely that you did not tell many people and, therefore, you are probably suffering on your own or with your partner.
It’s hard when you keep the secret of your pain. In addition, a late-stage miscarriage comes with its own pain and challenges. It is difficult to have to spread the sad news as many are excited about the baby and many of their items have already been purchased.
My boyfriend or husband is also grieving
Many assume that this is a grief felt only by the woman, since she was the one carrying the baby. Men are in a very difficult situation here because they are not only trying to comfort their partner, but they are also experiencing the loss. Joyfully anticipating the arrival of a new baby is not an exclusively maternal emotion.
“My body failed me.”
Many women believe that their calling in life is to have a baby. All too often, when a miscarriage occurs, the woman not only grieves, but also feels guilty.. Doctors usually do not know what happened, but one thing is certain: the woman did not “lose” the baby.
It’s more complicated than people think
Because this is still a taboo subject, painful details are not talked about. These are some of the moments they were not prepared for:
- Having to go through labor just to expel a lifeless body.
- Returning to work and having co-workers who don’t know you are suffering.
- Struggling to be happy for other pregnant women during this period.
- Bereavement while having a hormonal process.
- The wear and tear they may have on your body.
Another baby does not replace the one that was lost
A child with a healthy life does not replace the pain of loss. In fact several moms often found themselves comparing their babies to the unborn. Especially during the vacations they would think about the child they lost and what it would have been like at the time.
Questions about miscarriage and pregnancy loss
What is a miscarriage?
A miscarriage is defined as a baby that does not survive beyond 20 weeks gestation. Some miscarriages occur on their own, while others are induced with a medical procedure.
What is a stillbirth?
Fetal death is defined as the loss of a pregnancy after 20 weeks gestation. The reason for this specification is that it is believed that after 20 weeks, a baby could survive.
Should I have a funeral after a miscarriage?
This is entirely up to you and may depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy. Some people prefer no ceremony at all, while others want to be with family at home.
Will I be able to see or hold my stillborn child?
Usually, after delivery, you will be given time alone with your baby. Many find solace in taking photographs or collecting their fingerprints.
Note: As with a miscarriage, after a stillbirth, you may be asked to authorize tests to determine the cause of death.
Should I have a funeral for my stillborn baby?
Depending on the state in which you live, how far along the fetus was, or how much the fetus weighs, you may be required by law in your state to report the death to the Registrar of Vital Statistics and have a medical certificate of death prepared. While how you choose to honor your baby is up to you, in some cases, the law will require you to contact a funeral home.
Once you have met the legal requirements, the decision to honor your baby with a funeral is a very personal one. For some, the closing of a ceremony or religious service may help in the grieving process.
Can I honor my baby with a full funeral?
If you choose to have a more elaborate tribute for their stillborn, anything that can be done for an adult can also be arranged for a child’s funeral. For example, you can have a full religious service, cremation or a simple gathering.
Can I get help paying for my baby’s funeral?
Some funeral homes offer families who have lost a baby some type of price reduction. And you can get financial assistance from Social Security or DIF in your community.
What should I consider before planning my child’s funeral?
Obviously, this is a difficult time but we urge families to think before burying a baby in a cemetery. We say this because we often cannot predict where we will live for the rest of our lives.
We advise parents to consider cremation so that if they move at some point, they can take the remains with them. Remember that you can also bury cremated ashes in a cemetery or garden, or scatter them at sea or simply keep them at home if that is something that brings you peace.

How long can I keep the ashes in my home?
Many people who cremate a family member wonder how long they can keep the urn with ashes in their home and do not knowwhere to place it after the service.
How long can I keep the urn in my home?
It is necessary to differentiate 2 situations:
What the law says about ashes in the home
It is important to emphasize that legally speaking one can keep their loved one’s urn as long as they choose. There is no law that prohibits having the ashes in your home. This is important because if the family does not want to overspend or go into debt, they can rest easy with their decision.
They will probably want to wait a few months to recover financially and mentally from the loss of their loved one.
There is also no rule that specifies how long an urn can remain at home and the reason each person has are different situations, therefore, there is no one answer that can fit this one.
In addition, cremation gives them many disposition options such as:
- Spread the ashes in the sea.
- Divide them among your family members.
- Deposit them in a niche or cemetery.
- Store them in the house.
- Bury them in a nice place.
- Carry them in a reliquary.
What does the Catholic Religion say about ashes at home?
Some religions, such as Catholicism, pronounce themselves as follows:
The ashes of deceased Catholics may not be scattered, divided or kept at home. Nor can jewelry be created from them.
“The Church insistently recommends that the bodies of the deceased be buried in cemeteries or other sacred places.”
“The ashes of the deceased, as a rule, should be kept in a sacred place, that is, in the cemetery or, if it is the case, in a church”, or in some place with ecclesiastical “jurisdiction”.
The Vatican grants that ashes may be kept at home “only in cases of grave and exceptional circumstances”.
“The scattering of the ashes in the air, on land or water or in any other form, or the conversion of the ashes into memorial souvenirs, pieces of jewelry or other articles is not permitted.”
These are part of the new instructions of Catholic doctrine.
After how many days of having the urn in the house, can a person have a problem with his church?
At the moment there is no explicit rule, that is, it is not possible to define a good or bad time, because this depends on the circumstances of each family.
Where can I find niche information?
Fortunately in Bonita we have created a comparison of churches, funeral homes and cemeteries in different cities that offer the service of niches. In this comparative you will find their price, number of urns to deposit, telephone numbers and names.
At the end remember that if they decide to keep the ashes in their home or place them in a niche (or cemetery) that is fine, the decision you make should be the one that brings you the most peace and tranquility. This is a decision that only the family should make and they should not feel pressured..
Placing ashes in a Burial Forest
Placement of ashes in a funeral forest is an alternative to traditional burial services. Instead of gathering family members in a grave, the ashes of the deceased are placed in a natural setting, such as a forest. This eco-friendly option allows family members to pay their respects in an intimate and unique way by scattering their loved one’s ashes among the trees and foliage of a beautiful forest.
A burial forest can provide a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere for families to remember their loved ones, while helping to conserve nature. The burial site may include signs or markers designating the area where the ashes were deposited, allowing family and friends to easily locate it in the future.
You can review this type of service in our green niches article.
Spreading the ashes of your loved one in the sea
It is a very difficult time when you have to say goodbye to your loved one forever. One of the ways to honor him and keep his memory alive is to scatter his ashes in the sea.
The sea has been an important part of many cultures for thousands of years, and can be a very peaceful place to scatter ashes. It helps to think that the ocean will take your loved one’s remains and make them travel around the world, connecting them with all their many secrets.
You can choose to scatter the ashes in a specific place or simply let the waves carry them away. You can also bring some mementos of your loved one, such as photographs or letters, to take with you on your final journey.
As you say goodbye, try to focus on all the wonderful memories you shared together and how those memories will always be with you. Scattering your loved one’s ashes at sea is a beautiful way for them to embark on their next adventure and for you to find peace knowing that they are still close in spirit.

What to do after cremation?
What options do we have after cremation?
In the past, end-of-life options consisted only of burial in a cemetery. Cremation services offer flexibility and personalization that burials do not. Today their final resting place may be a forest, an ash reliquary, a niche, etc.
Cremation is currently one of the most popular options. This increase can be attributed to socioeconomic factors, environmental impact, changing religious beliefs and economic price.
A traditional wake costs around $25,000 pesos and to this cost is added the cemetery location which can be as much as $20,000 pesos or more. For many, spending so much money on their burial feels unnecessary. While single cremation is already an affordable all-inclusive package.
When considering your end-of-life plans, cremation is only the first step. Planning begins when you choose where your ashes will be placed or scattered. That could mean placing his ashes in a forest or making them into a ring for his relatives.
Spreading the ashes
Some people choose to scatter the ashes in a favorite place, such as a vacation they loved. Others want their ashes to be scattered at sea or in a forest. Because of the flexibility the ashes can be distributed among family members, scattered once, in several places or over the years.
Ashes used in art
Art made from cremation ashes will last for generations. Commemorate your loved ones with a piece of art that honors their life and keeps their memory alive. Some forms of ashes with art include:
Jewelry
Cremation jewelry allows you to keep the memory of your loved one close. Pendants are divided into several categories such as diamonds and crystals.
The lockets have a chamber for you to add the ash yourself, the custom jewelry is made with a little ash during the glass blowing process and the custom jewelry is made entirely from the ash.
Tattoos
These tattoos use an ash-infused ink solution to create a work of body art. The ink is used as it would be used in any other tattoo, but the meaning will last a lifetime.
Glass art
You can turn your ashes into a piece of cremation glass art such as; stained glass, vases, glass flowers and blown glass pieces.
Paints
Cremation paints are created by mixing ashes with specially formulated paint. After mixing the paint and ash, your artist can create a portrait or any other artwork you request.
Back to green
Many people are looking for end-of-life plans that help protect nature. Today there are many options that honor our planet.
Commemorative choir
For people who love the sea and would like to rest on the bottom, there is the option of an artificial memorial reef. These are created by mixing ash and cement to create a mold, then placed on the ocean floor. They stimulate the generation of corals and local marine life while giving your family GPS coordinates.
Memorial forests
These forests are a green alternative to traditional cemeteries, which are harsh on the natural environment. Memorial forests help protect forest land and provide a quiet, protected space for your family member’s memory to live on.
His ashes will be mixed with soil and placed at the base of a private tree during a memorial service. This tree will continue to be a beautiful place for family members to visit.

How do I know that I have received the remains of my loved one?
What are cremated ashes?
Most people know the term “ashes” when talking about cremated remains, but in reality these remains are bone fragments, processed into the consistency of ashes. They can vary in color from white to gray and resemble sand. These residues are odorless and non-toxic.
How do I know that I have received the remains of my loved one?
This is a very common question we get asked by families. A great deal of trust is placed in your funeral home or crematory to properly handle your loved one’s farewell.
Here are some points to take into account:
- Death care is a highly regulated professional industry.
- Funeral directors and crematory operators are licensed by the state, undergo background checks and must renew permits that depend on a good reputation and a clean record.
- The funeral industry is full of empathetic, hardworking people who chose a career in death care because they want to help people.
- Funeral homes would never dream of dishonoring the trust that families place in them.
- Beyond the moral obligation and regulatory controls in place, there are multiple internal systems in place to ensure that a facility always knows who is in its care.
- When a deceased person is brought into the care of a funeral home, the team gathers vital information about who they are picking up. This information is placed on a label that is then stored in the person’s physical body.
- Cremation is only scheduled once all necessary authorizations, permits and special requests are submitted to the crematory operator.
- These documents and identification are compared with the person’s tags before the cremation process begins.
- The remains are then processed and placed in an urn on which a label is placed and the paperwork is kept with the urn until it is returned to a loved one.
What can I expect when I receive the urn with the remains of my loved one?
While the final amount of cremated remains varies depending on the size and bone density of the loved one, most adults end up weighing between 2 and 3 kilograms.
The remains are placed in a thick clear plastic bag to ensure that the remains are kept contained. This bag is placed inside the display urn or in a temporary urn.
The urns are a suitable option for storage, scattering or air travel.
Whatever your urn is, it is recommended that it have a label placed somewhere inconspicuous so that it is easily identifiable. This may seem unnecessary, but it is common for them to be stored in their homes and later found by relatives or strangers who did not know the deceased and have no way of identifying the contents.

Where to find inexpensive caskets?
What is a coffin?
One of the main things about a traditional funeral is the casket. It is given great emotional significance, as it is the last thing you see when you say goodbye to your loved one.
The casket is used to protect the dignity of the deceased and can provide a beautiful and meaningful way to display the remains of your loved one during a funeral.
What influences the price of a casket?
Caskets come in a wide variety of designs, simple caskets can cost as little as $5,000 pesos while luxury and customizable options can cost as much as $80,000 pesos. This means there are many options, and you can find one that suits your taste as well as your budget.
The price of a casket depends on the material from which it is made (as does the furniture). Inexpensive caskets such as pine, to more expensive ones such as mahogany. Other materials such as bronze achieve higher costs than stainless steel.
Any special design will also affect the price, as well as whether you require customization work. One thing to keep in mind is that prices will be higher at funeral homes, and prices will be lower at online providers.
Where to find inexpensive caskets?
A good way to find affordable caskets is through funeral home groups on Facebook.
These are some of these groups:
Remember to always verify that the supplier is real and try to visit him personally (or send an acquaintance). Ask if they have the shipping service and calculate it in the final cost.
Costs associated with a casket
Remember that if you use the burial option, the burial costs must also be added:
- Embalming.
- Aesthetic preparation.
- Wake service.
- Transfer by carriage.
- Place in the cemetery.
Now if the family chooses cremation, the use of a casket is optional. You may wish to have a memorial service with a rented casket followed by cremation.
Or they can use the simple cremation service without a funeral service where the family themselves can arrange a gathering or memorial service at a time and place of their choosing: this way families save even more money.
They can then keep the urn in their home as long as they wish, place the urn in a niche or bury the ashes in a symbolic place.

How much does it cost to transfer a body in Mexico?
Do you need to transfer a body in Mexico?
In this guide we will show you how to determine the fee for a body transfer service in Mexico. This will help you to have an estimate for when you need the service.
In many cases the funeral home is accustomed to impose fees that it believes will generate more profit, but this can ultimately have a negative effect on the customer’s perception.
Remember that the funeral home must maintain its units in good condition, pay fair wages to operators and change its units or floats when necessary.
Many funeral homes negotiate the sale of their services taking into account some of the basic variables of their operating expenses such as fuel and booths, plus their “profit”, without taking into account the totality of variables, such as the wear and tear of their units, tires, cost of capital, etc.
Formula used in the transfer of bodies
Most funeral homes use this formula: Fee = Profit + Fixed Costs + Variable Costs * Distance.
Fixed costs in relocation
Fixed costs are those that are incurred every month regardless of whether the vehicle is in operation or not, such as:
- Vehicle monthly payment.
- Insurance.
- GPS.
Variable relocation costs
The variable costs taken into account are as follows:
- Payment slip from the State Fiscal Agency (for transfer).
- Fuel.
- Maintenance.
- Tires.
- Booths.
- Food.
- Parking lots.
- Washing of the vehicle.
- Operator’s hotel if you have to travel many kilometers.
Example of a body transfer cost estimate
Let’s say you need a body transfer service from the city of Queretaro to the city of Monterrey and a funeral home offers to give you the service, you must take into account the following aspects to establish if the service is convenient for you or not. This route is approximately 706 kilometers long and we have established a duration of 2 days (average driving time of 9 hours per day).
Take into account:
- Mileage: We can calculate it on Google Maps, 706 km or 1,412 km (706 by 2) counting the return trip.
- Number of days: 2.
- Kilometers per liter consumed by your vehicle: 10 km on the highway (this figure varies according to the vehicle brand).
- Fuel value: 18 pesos * liter.
We then divide the trip mileage by the km/lt consumed by the vehicle and multiply it by the fuel price.
- 1,412 km / (10 km/lt) = 141.2 * $ 18 pesos = $ 2,541.60 pesos.
In addition:
- Casetas: Calculate them in Traza tu Ruta
  - QRO > MTY > QRO = $ 410 pesos ($ 205 for 2).
- State Fiscal agency payment slip: $ 500 pesos (varies depending on the state).
- Value of food: $ 300 pesos.
- Hotel rate: $ 800 pesos.
- Parking: $ 100 pesos.
- Vehicle wash: $ 100 pesos.
- Operator Salary: $ 1000 pesos * day
This sum gives $6,751 pesos, which is the variable costs of the trip, plus the fixed costs mentioned above (vehicle rental, insurance, GPS, etc.).
Retail Price Calculation
A calculation used by many funeral homes for the final price to the client is to multiply the number of kilometers to be traveled by $15 or $25 pesos depending on the route.
Example:
- QRO > MTY > QRO the calculation would be 1,412 km * $ 15 pesos = 21,180 pesos.
Extra costs for the transfer of bodies
Remember that the cost of the coffin + the service of another funeral home at the place of destination (wake) + the place in the cemetery must still be added to the transfer price.
This can increase the costs a lot and it is important that you have it contemplated in your budget beforehand.
How to save money on a body transfer
One way to save a lot of money in the transfer of a body is to use simple cremation. This already includes cremation, permits, paperwork, taxes and the urn. This way the family can travel with the urn in their own vehicle and save many of the costs associated with moving a body.
