WHO WE ARE: A non-profit legally registered Mexican asociacion civil providing a prepaid plan of cremation and burial services that fully comply with Mexican law.

WHAT WE DO:  Upon the death of a member, a phone call to the Executive Secretary initiates the process to carry out the wishes of the member as set forth in their Membership Application. The process includes disposition of the body according to the member’s wishes, contacting family and friends, assistance in arranging funeral or services as requested, registering death with the Mexican authorities and supplying a Mexican death certificate to appropriate survivor.  (The 24 Hour Assn. is the ONLY entity which can register the death and supply the Mexican death certificate WITHOUT the involvement of the deceased’s family.  No funeral home can do this.)
