Body & Ashes Repatriation Belgium

Belgium is a country located in Western Europe, with a population estimated to be around 11.5 million people. It is known for its medieval towns, delicious chocolates, and world-renowned beer. The official languages spoken in Belgium are Dutch, French, and German.

The presence of British or Irish people in Belgium is significant due to its central location in Europe and its role as the headquarters of various international organizations. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Belgium for work, particularly in sectors such as finance, European institutions, and technology. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and enjoy the vibrant cultural scene of Belgium.

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 Belgium, Rosy International's Belgium team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi, Liège or any other specified location in Belgium.
