Body & Ashes Repatriation Lebanon

Lebanon is a country located in the Middle East, with a population estimated to be around 6.8 million people. It is known for its rich history, vibrant cities, and diverse culinary traditions. The official languages spoken in Lebanon are Arabic and French.

The presence of British or Irish people in Lebanon is significant due to historical ties, cultural exchange, and business partnerships. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Lebanon for work, particularly in sectors such as finance, hospitality, and education. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the culinary delights, ancient ruins, and vibrant atmosphere of Lebanon.

We can arrange collection from Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre, Nabatieh or any other specified location in Lebanon.
