Body & Ashes Repatriation Laos

Laos is a country located in Southeast Asia, with a population estimated to be around 7.4 million people. It is known for its stunning landscapes, including the Mekong River, lush jungles, and ancient temples. The official language spoken in Laos is Lao.

The presence of British or Irish people in Laos is significant due to tourism, adventure travel, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish tourists visit Laos for its natural beauty, trekking opportunities, and historical sites, such as Luang Prabang. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and appreciate the laid-back atmosphere and spiritual heritage of Laos.

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 Laos, Rosy International's Laos team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Vientiane, Savannakhet, Pakse, Luang Prabang, Xam Neua or any other specified location in Laos.
