I am sorry for you loss. You should contact the US Embassy in Mexico City. They should be able to help with the arrangements. Their phone number is 011-52-55-5080-2000 (this is exactly how to dial from the US). If you need assistance, please contact my office (410-654-3389) and I can help you from there. I am fluent in spanish and know how to deal with Mexican authorities.
