I would love to die and be buried here in our beautiful hilltop cemetery in La Bocana.
Les has already looked into plots, which really tickled the locals LOL

Where there's a will, there's a relative
My wife and I have both wills and living wills, notarized and stashed away in a safety deposit box here in Cochituate. It does suggest the question of
whether or not any of it is legally binding south of the border.

Nope. You need a Mexican will south of the border. Ask any attorney or Notario in Mexico

We're taking Brooks Smith's (Taco de Baja) ashes down into the Sisters for one last ride on the waves. BTW a Cardon Cactus I've had for 30 years
since buying it as a 2" pot in a Vista nursery has started blooming for the first time...we think Brooks has something to do with this!

Thanks! This is good to know, and is yet another addition to our growing Mexico to-do list. This whole thread has been extremely informative for Baja
wannabees like me.

My wish is to be dumped into any firepit in Baja and the friends have a shot and pour one for me on the fire. My friends have said they might have to
filter it through their kidneys first.

Good info and humor. So majority plan to remain in Baja in one form or the other. We had always planned a Green Burial, no body prep into a pine box
in cemetery without headstones (GPS coord or detector marker for location).
Thanks for the responses thus far,

Burial seems to be a waste of land and money if you need to buy the hole first. Of course there is plenty of useless land in Baja.
Cardboard box into the incinerator is the simplest way.

I believe that in the months of September and October, Attorneys and Notarios discount the cost of preparing a will.......at least in the TJ/Ensenada
area

Good topic.....whether you die in Mexico or elsewhere.
As for "dump me in the firepit/incinerator" ideas....cremation requires a lot of BTU's not generated in a firepit or garbage burn barrel.....
After cremation, the remains are relatively intact skeletal (bone) pieces that are then ground up in an automatic mortar until they resemble fine
grit/gravel....this silty gravel is what you get in the box/urn after it is all done.
When ashes are "spread" on water, they tend to settle in several different layers according to material consistency...creating a rather spooky effect
in still water.
bodies dumped on a fire result in a charred greasy mass
Don't believe everything you think....

I should have stated that I was refering to my ashes. My buddies would have getting a body through a checkpoint.
I didn't think, I needed to state the obvious.

Blanca, may I suggest an edit; 'When I die, I would love to be buried here.....'
You are sounding a little too eager the other way!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

When I'm done, I'm done. If they don't want to release the body, they can keep it. Hopefully my widow will feel the same way. Have to sort that out...
