Body & Ashes Repatriation Gambia

The Gambia is a small country located in West Africa, with a population estimated to be around 2.4 million people. It is known for its beautiful beaches, wildlife reserves, and vibrant culture. The official language spoken in The Gambia is English.

The presence of British or Irish people in The Gambia is significant due to historical ties, tourism, and development projects. Many British or Irish tourists visit The Gambia for its beach resorts, wildlife safaris, and cultural immersion. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and support community development initiatives in The Gambia.

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 Gambia, Rosy International's Gambia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Banjul, Serekunda, Brikama, Bakau, Banjulinding or any other specified location in Gambia.
