It is described and analyzed the return of the bodies of dead migrants and their social implications in Nahuas communities of the Alto Balsas Region, Guerrero, in order to understand the rituals and symbolic transformations imposed by national and international migration logical where border control is evident in the administrative arrangements of national states. Documented by the field research, the issue is an incitation of thinking about the change and cultural tension from the international collective organization of an indigenous Mesoamerican people with very valid values as evidenced by the funeral ritual.
