DEATH OF A U.S. CITIZEN ABROAD
In the unfortunate case of the death of a U.S. Citizen abroad, the U.S. Consulate General Guadalajara will notify the family of the deceased. The Consulate will also provide assistance in making arrangements for the disposition of the remains and, if desired, the shipment of the remains back to the United States. Costs for preparing and returning the remains from Mexico to the U.S. are the responsibility of the family.
The U.S. Consulate Guadalajara will prepare 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.
