The Consulate can assist family and friends in the event of the death of an American Citizen in the State of Chihuahua. The Consulate maintains a list of funeral homes in the state. The Consulate can also assist in arranging disposition of remains and forwarding of personal effects.

Even if no assistance is needed in making such arrangements, the death of an American citizen, whether resident or tourist, should be reported to the Consulate so that a Report of Death Abroad can be issued. This document is necessary to settle legal and estate matters in the U.S.
