Al Zheimer Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'm going to be heading North for a permanent stay, shortly. Wondering if anyone has ever resold their cremation contract with Chapala's San Francisco Funeraria . Seem to remember paying about 10,000 pesos back in 2012.

RVGRINGO Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I suspect that you could sell the paper to John Doe, who might be gullible enough to buy it, but would die without knowing that his surviving spouse would only have the right to get YOU cremated; not John..

Al Zheimer Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I was looking at it more like my having given them an Interest-free loan for six years. Fully expected there would be some surrender charges. If it's not possible to look at it in any way as an investment, then I think folks would be better off to just put X# of Pesos away in an envelope until it's needed.

Yo1 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Perhaps asking San Francisco what their policy is on refunds/contract take-over. Who knows, you might be surprised. You'd have to have their permission anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traderspoc Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 good question probably transferable for a fee. ask them i would like to know the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Zheimer Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 UPDATE: I decided to call the Funeraria and inquire as to whether a cremation contract could be transferred into another's name and was told "no problem", just need new person's passport, and 1000pesos for Notarizing the new contract. I did not ask, but I'd bet that they are selling new contracts for more than I paid 6+ years ago. So, anyone willing to face reality and assume my contract for a paltry $250USD+Notary. You'll sleep a lot better knowing everything is handled with one phone call. No police, No doctor, etc., they handle everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyBee Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Wow, when my mom passed away in November of 2012, the total bill from San Francisco was 6,500 pesos. That included cremation and the ash container ( no notarized documents, only my signature on the nursing home documents and a doctor had to sign off on the death certificate).

ComputerGuy Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 In May 2012 San Fransisco charged me $10,000p, for cremation and container and documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 In April of 2015, it was still $10,000 pesos and they came to our home to sign the papers. When my hubby passed away, they were amazing with their promptness and efficiency which I appreciated because I was a wreck. Worth every single peso.

HoneyBee Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Well I paid 6,500.00 pesos (I probably still have the receipt buried away in my mom's documents). Also, it was handled by the nursing home La Casa Nostras, am guessing they have a discount a "group" discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the $3500 peso difference, I hope I die at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBee Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 One last observation. They are selling you a service which, if you are lucky, they will not need to provide for say 15 years. So look at the inflation rate and do the math. I replaced the frequent flyer discount with frequent death discount, seems to be more in line unless you have booked a seat on the raptor flight....

Al Zheimer Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 UPDATE: Contract has been SOLD ........ and will be officially transferred later today. Will post if the terms turn out to be any different than I reported in my last post, however, I seriously doubt they will be. Thanks for your interest.
