Body & Ashes Repatriation New Zealand

New Zealand is a country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, with a population estimated to be around 5 million people. It is known for its stunning landscapes, including mountains, fjords, and pristine beaches. The official languages spoken in New Zealand are English, Maori, and New Zealand Sign Language.

The presence of British or Irish people in New Zealand is significant due to migration, education, and tourism. Many British or Irish individuals choose to live in New Zealand for its high quality of life, outdoor recreational opportunities, and natural beauty. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the diverse landscapes, Maori culture, and friendly Kiwi hospitality of New Zealand.

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 New Zealand, Rosy International's New Zealand team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga or any other specified location in New Zealand.
