Body & Ashes Repatriation Burundi

Burundi is a small landlocked country located in East Africa, with a population estimated to be around 11 million people. It is known for its scenic landscapes, including Lake Tanganyika, and the traditional drumming rituals. The official languages spoken in Burundi are Kirundi and French.

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

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 Burundi, Rosy International's Burundi team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Bujumbura, Muyinga, Gitega, Ngozi, Ruyigi or any other specified location in Burundi.
