Bulgaria is a country located in Southeastern Europe, with a population estimated to be around 7 million people. It is known for its diverse landscapes, including the Black Sea coastline, the Balkan Mountains, and historic cities like Sofia and Plovdiv. The official language spoken in Bulgaria is Bulgarian.

The presence of British or Irish people in Bulgaria is significant due to its popularity as a tourist destination, affordable living costs, and real estate opportunities. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Bulgaria for work, retirement, or personal reasons. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various industries, and appreciate the cultural heritage and natural beauty of Bulgaria.
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 Bulgaria, Rosy International's Bulgaria team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse or any other specified location in Bulgaria.
Conversely, bulgarians are present in cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow.
In the event of the passing of your beloved in any of the mentioned cities above or elsewhere, we stand ready to assist you in repatriating your loved ones remains to Bulgaria, if needed. In the subsequent sections, we will delve into the process of bringing your loved one back to Bulgaria from the UK or Ireland.
