Body & Ashes Repatriation Palau

Palau is a small island country located in the western Pacific Ocean, with a population estimated to be around 18,000 people. It is known for its pristine coral reefs, World War II historical sites, and traditional Micronesian culture. The official languages spoken in Palau are Palauan and English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Palau is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Palau for various reasons, such as work, particularly in sectors such as tourism, environmental conservation, or education. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the natural beauty, marine biodiversity, and traditional customs of Palau.

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 Palau, Rosy International's Palau team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Ngerulmud (de facto capital) or any other specified location in Palau.
