Body & Ashes Repatriation North Macedonia

North Macedonia, formerly known as the Republic of Macedonia, is a country located in the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe, with a population estimated to be around 2 million people. It is known for its ancient ruins, scenic landscapes, and diverse cultural heritage. The official language spoken in North Macedonia is Macedonian.

The presence of British or Irish people in North Macedonia is significant due to tourism, business partnerships, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish tourists visit North Macedonia for its historical sites, such as the city of Ohrid and the ruins of Heraclea Lyncestis. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and appreciate the cultural diversity, traditional cuisine, and warm hospitality of North Macedonia.

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 Macedonia, Rosy International's North Macedonia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Skopje, Bitola, Kumanovo, Prilep, Tetovo or any other specified location in North Macedonia.
