Body & Ashes Repatriation Djibouti

Djibouti is a small country located in the Horn of Africa, with a population estimated to be around 990,000 people. It is known for its strategic location, beautiful beaches, and diverse marine life. The official languages spoken in Djibouti are French and Arabic.

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

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 Djibouti, Rosy International's Djibouti team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Djibouti City, Ali Sabieh, Dikhil, Tadjoura, Obock or any other specified location in Djibouti.
