Body & Ashes Repatriation Armenia

Armenia is a landlocked country located in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia, with a population estimated to be around 3 million people. It is known for its ancient history, religious sites, and mountainous landscapes. The official language spoken in Armenia is Armenian.

The presence of British or Irish people in Armenia is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Armenia for various reasons, such as work, education, or personal connections. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the historical and natural beauty of Armenia.

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 Armenia, Rosy International's Armenia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Yerevan, Gyumri, Vanadzor, Vagharshapat (Etchmiadzin) or any other specified location in Armenia.
