What about after?
What do you plan to do when you pass away? Stay in Baja or shipped to Country of birth? Hope this does not offend anyone but was wondering because
We are getting closer to that choice in our lives. Have never seen this talked about anywhere online.
Thanks,

My views on death and what happens after to my body have changed radically after living here in Baja and seeing how Mexicanos honour it and celebrate
it. So I hope to be buried here...my dream is to lie in that teeny graveyard in San Roque that gets washed over by the hurricane swells once in
awhile. My heart and happiness is here and here is where this bag of bones will remain...so come visit me and dance on my grave por favor!

We both want to be cremated and have our ashes put in a cement structure with long rebar arms and dropped at our favorite fishing hole here in Baja,
that way our friends and family can say our name (with angst) each time they get snagged on the bottom.......

In our case, our wish is to wrap a large anchor and chain to the legs and be dropped overboard from our kayak.

I'll be through with my carcass at that time. I wish to be cremated, dump the ashes out the window of the car at a red light on the way home from
picking them up......

Just a couple of things to remember. Always have your birth certificates and marriage license and a way to access quick cash.
When our friend suddenly passed away in Baja, they would not even allow his widow to see his remains until all fees were paid, and the paperwork
completed.
It is something that should be talked about. Agreed upon plans make it easier for the survivor, and if those plans should probably be in writing to
protect the survivor from other relatives.
Thanks for the thread.

Hmm, never thought about it.
Perhaps the Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone AZ.
If not that, the closest incinerator will suffice.

Needs to be a certified copy of each and apostilled, plus translated into Spanish by a certified translator. A legally prepared and filed Mexican will
also helps

I've heard that if you die in Mexico your survivors need to get a Mexican death certificate and take it to an American Embassy to get an American
death certificate which will be needed to get access to the $42.00 you have in the bank.
True?

With a Mexican death certificate, the US Consulate can handle all of the paperwork and provide a death certificate acceptable in the US. The Consulate
will also notify the VA and Social Security.
YMMV depending on where you are and who you are dealing with

One of my kids is a signer on my meager bank accounts and if the Mexican authorities want to keep my body they are welcome to it.

My wish was to have my ashes buried in the sand dune on Shell Island by our campsite, just so I can stay there a little longer than a few days... It
is my favorite Baja resting place. The past year, I have told Baja Angel that she doesn't need to do that, it was a silly thought. Funny how things
change as you age.

I want to be dumped off the OB Pier at Riptide Rights so I can swim with my Mom and Granny forever.
Good info on this thread so far. Please keep it on topic.

All you need is a pickup truck and sleeping bag.
