Body & Ashes Repatriation North Korea

North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country located in East Asia, with a population estimated to be around 25 million people. It is known for its political system, limited external interactions, and historical sites. The official language spoken in North Korea is Korean.

The presence of British or Irish people in North Korea is relatively limited due to restrictions on travel and diplomatic relations. However, there may be British or Irish individuals visiting North Korea for educational, humanitarian, or diplomatic purposes. They contribute to cultural exchange, engage in diplomatic efforts, and appreciate the historical sites and cultural traditions of North Korea.

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 North Korea, Rosy International's North Korea team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Pyongyang, Hamhung, Chongjin, Nampo, Wonsan or any other specified location in North Korea.
