Body & Ashes Repatriation Libya

Libya is a country located in North Africa, with a population estimated to be around 6.9 million people. It is known for its ancient Roman ruins, Sahara Desert landscapes, and Mediterranean coastline. The official language spoken in Libya is Arabic.

The presence of British or Irish people in Libya is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Libya for various reasons, such as work, particularly in sectors such as energy, education, or diplomacy. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the historical sites, diverse landscapes, and cultural traditions of Libya.

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 Libya, Rosy International's Libya team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrata, Tarhuna, Zawiya or any other specified location in Libya.
