Body & Ashes Repatriation Latvia

Latvia is a country located in Northern Europe, with a population estimated to be around 1.9 million people. It is known for its charming old towns, pristine forests, and Baltic Sea beaches. The official language spoken in Latvia is Latvian.

The presence of British or Irish people in Latvia is significant due to educational opportunities, business partnerships, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Latvia for work, particularly in sectors such as technology, finance, and education. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the historical heritage and natural landscapes of Latvia.

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 Latvia, Rosy International's Latvia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Riga, Daugavpils, Liepāja, Jelgava, Jūrmala or any other specified location in Latvia.
