Body & Ashes Repatriation Madagascar

Madagascar is an island country located off the eastern coast of Africa, with a population estimated to be around 27 million people. It is known for its unique biodiversity, including lemurs and baobab trees, as well as its stunning beaches. The official languages spoken in Madagascar are Malagasy and French.

The presence of British or Irish people in Madagascar is significant due to tourism, conservation efforts, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish tourists visit Madagascar for its wildlife reserves, national parks, and ecotourism opportunities. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and support conservation initiatives and community development projects in Madagascar.

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 Madagascar, Rosy International's Madagascar team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Antananarivo, Toamasina, Antsirabe, Fianarantsoa, Mahajanga or any other specified location in Madagascar.
