Body & Ashes Repatriation Nigeria

Nigeria is a country located in West Africa, with a population estimated to be around 214 million people. It is known for its diverse cultures, vibrant music scene, and bustling cities. The official language spoken in Nigeria is English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Nigeria is significant due to business opportunities, education, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Nigeria for work, particularly in sectors such as oil and gas, education, or technology. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the cultural diversity, vibrant arts, and entrepreneurial spirit of Nigeria.

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 Nigeria, Rosy International's Nigeria team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Abuja, Port Harcourt or any other specified location in Nigeria.
