Body & Ashes Repatriation Rwanda

Rwanda is a landlocked country located in East Africa, with a population estimated to be around 13 million people. It is known for its breathtaking scenery, including volcanoes and lakes, as well as its remarkable recovery from the 1994 genocide. The official languages spoken in Rwanda are Kinyarwanda, French, and English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Rwanda is significant due to development projects, tourism, and cultural exchange. Many British or Irish individuals visit Rwanda for its gorilla trekking opportunities in Volcanoes National Park and its efforts in reconciliation and sustainable development. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and support community-based tourism initiatives and social enterprises in Rwanda.

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 Rwanda, Rosy International's Rwanda team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Kigali, Butare, Gitarama, Ruhengeri, Gisenyi or any other specified location in Rwanda.
