Body & Ashes Repatriation Niger

Niger is a landlocked country located in West Africa, with a population estimated to be around 24 million people. It is known for its Sahara Desert landscapes, diverse wildlife, and traditional cultures. The official language spoken in Niger is French.

The presence of British or Irish people in Niger is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Niger for various reasons, such as work, particularly in sectors such as education, healthcare, or development projects. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the desert scenery, traditional music, and cultural traditions of Niger.

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 Niger, Rosy International's Niger team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Niamey, Zinder, Maradi, Agadez, Tahoua or any other specified location in Niger.
