Body & Ashes Repatriation Cyprus

Cyprus is an island country located in the Eastern Mediterranean, with a population estimated to be around 1.2 million people. It is known for its beautiful beaches, ancient ruins, and rich cultural heritage. The official languages spoken in Cyprus are Greek and Turkish.

The presence of British or Irish people in Cyprus is significant due to historical ties, lifestyle opportunities, and tourism. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Cyprus for work, retirement, or personal reasons. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various industries, and enjoy the Mediterranean climate and cultural fusion of Cyprus.

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 Cyprus, Rosy International's Cyprus team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Famagusta, Paphos or any other specified location in Cyprus.
