Body & Ashes Repatriation Kiribati

Kiribati is an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, with a population estimated to be around 120,000 people. It is known for its stunning coral atolls, pristine beaches, and rich marine biodiversity. The official languages spoken in Kiribati are English and Gilbertese.

The presence of British or Irish people in Kiribati is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Kiribati for various reasons, such as work, particularly in sectors such as education, healthcare, or environmental conservation. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the natural beauty and unique cultural heritage of Kiribati.

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 Kiribati, Rosy International's Kiribati team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from South Tarawa, Betio, Bikenibeu, Teaoraereke, Bairiki or any other specified location in Kiribati.
