Overview
- In Mexico, sector estimates say basic packages now run about 15,000–30,000 pesos—up to 20% higher year over year—while premium options can exceed 80,000 to 200,000 pesos, with the highest prices concentrated in Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara.
- Executives at J. García López report that 96% of their services are cremations and say companies could adjust prices a further 9–10% in 2026 depending on economic conditions.
- Only about 4% of Mexicans have funeral protection, and industry guidance warns that buying at the time of death can add roughly 25–30% to the bill, with street vendors promoting prepaid plans starting around 100 pesos per week to spread costs.
- In Spain’s Córdoba, the OCU places the average outlay for a complete burial near €3,000, with coffins averaging about €1,200 and cremation or inhumation around €600, as flower prices during All Saints’ week often rise sharply.
- In Peru, a basic service averages roughly S/2,200 and cremations range from S/2,000 to S/7,500, while total costs can exceed S/45,000 once burial plots and extras are included.
