Body & Ashes Repatriation Malta

Malta is a small island country located in the Mediterranean Sea, with a population estimated to be around 460,000 people. It is known for its ancient ruins, crystal-clear waters, and welcoming atmosphere. The official languages spoken in Malta are Maltese and English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Malta is significant due to historical ties, tourism, and retirement options. Many British or Irish tourists visit Malta for its historical sites, beautiful beaches, and mild climate. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and appreciate the cultural heritage and island lifestyle of Malta.

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 Malta, Rosy International's Malta team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Valletta, Birkirkara, Qormi, Mosta, Żabbar or any other specified location in Malta.
