Body & Ashes Repatriation Lesotho

Lesotho is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa, with a population estimated to be around 2.1 million people. It is known for its breathtaking mountain landscapes, traditional culture, and outdoor adventures. The official languages spoken in Lesotho are Sesotho and English.

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

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 Lesotho, Rosy International's Lesotho team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Maseru, Teyateyaneng, Mafeteng, Hlotse, Mohale's Hoek or any other specified location in Lesotho.
