True, Wolf, but since the "insurance" will only cover burying you in the US, where this enterprise is licensed, this becomes moot. If you are illegal or recently arrived and don't even speak English, this won't get your relatives back to Mexico where the family wants them. It's a morbid thought, but this is why there are so many car washes available on every streetcorner throughout the Central Valley of California; it's the only way they know to raise the money. The more spectacular deaths, the ones which make the papers, at least allow the family to solicit donations from the public. I find it horribly sad that a family which can't even feed itself adequately insists on using up their every resource for such a practice as sending a corpse back to the home grounds when eventually every person who ever knew the dead will leave for El Norte anyway.
