Body & Ashes Repatriation Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a landlocked country located in South Asia and Central Asia, with a population estimated to be around 38 million people. It is known for its diverse culture, historical sites, and mountainous landscapes. The official languages spoken in Afghanistan are Dari and Pashto.

The presence of British or Irish people in Afghanistan is relatively limited due to security concerns and the challenging political situation. However, there may be British or Irish citizens residing in Afghanistan for work or humanitarian purposes, such as military personnel, diplomats, or aid workers. They contribute to peacekeeping efforts, development projects, and humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan.

In the event of the most unfortunate circumstances, should an individual from England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, or any non-native origin pass away in Afghanistan, Rosy International's Afghanistan team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Kabul, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, Kandahar, Jalalabad or any other specified location in Afghanistan.
