Body & Ashes Repatriation Ghana

Ghana is a country located in West Africa, with a population estimated to be around 31 million people. It is known for its friendly people, diverse wildlife, and historical sites, including the forts and castles of the slave trade. The official language spoken in Ghana is English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Ghana is significant due to historical ties, development projects, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Ghana for work, particularly in sectors such as education, healthcare, and development aid. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Ghana.

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 Ghana, Rosy International's Ghana team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Takoradi, Tema or any other specified location in Ghana.
