Body & Ashes Repatriation Namibia

Namibia is a country located in Southern Africa, with a population estimated to be around 2.8 million people. It is known for its stunning desert landscapes, wildlife reserves, and indigenous cultures. The official language spoken in Namibia is English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Namibia is significant due to tourism, wildlife conservation efforts, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish tourists visit Namibia for its iconic landmarks, such as the Namib Desert and Etosha National Park. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and support conservation initiatives and community-based tourism in Namibia.

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 Namibia, Rosy International's Namibia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Windhoek, Rundu, Walvis Bay, Oshakati, Swakopmund or any other specified location in Namibia.
