Body & Ashes Repatriation Oman

Oman is a country located in the Arabian Peninsula, with a population estimated to be around 5 million people. It is known for its beautiful beaches, desert landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. The official language spoken in Oman is Arabic.

The presence of British or Irish people in Oman is significant due to work opportunities, tourism, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish expatriates live in Oman for employment reasons, particularly in sectors such as oil and gas, finance, or education. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the diverse landscapes, traditional architecture, and warm hospitality of Oman.

We can arrange collection from Muscat, Seeb, Salalah, Bawshar, Sohar or any other specified location in Oman.
