Body & Ashes Repatriation Kenya

Kenya is a country located in East Africa, with a population estimated to be around 54 million people. It is known for its diverse wildlife, stunning national parks, and rich cultural heritage. The official languages spoken in Kenya are Swahili and English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Kenya is significant due to historical ties, wildlife conservation efforts, and tourism. Many British or Irish tourists visit Kenya for its safaris, Maasai Mara Reserve, and beautiful beaches. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and support conservation initiatives and community development projects in Kenya.

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 Kenya, Rosy International's Kenya team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret or any other specified location in Kenya.
