Samoa is a country located in the South Pacific Ocean, with a population estimated to be around 200,000 people. It is known for its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and Polynesian culture. The official languages spoken in Samoa are Samoan and English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Samoa is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Samoa for various reasons, such as work, particularly in sectors such as education, healthcare, or development projects. They contribute to the local economy, engage in cultural exchange, and appreciate the natural beauty, traditional customs, and warm hospitality of Samoa.
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 Samoa, Rosy International's Samoa team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Apia, Vaitele, Faleula, Siusega, Malie or any other specified location in Samoa.
Conversely, samoans can be found in cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds.
In the event of the passing of your beloved in any of the mentioned cities above or elsewhere, we stand ready to assist you in repatriating your loved ones remains to Samoa, if needed. In the subsequent sections, we will delve into the process of bringing your loved one back to Samoa from the UK or Ireland.

What happens when Samoans die in the UK or Ireland?

If your loved one is an Samoans national and died in the UK or Ireland, it is essential to register the death with the local council to obtain the official death certificate. Should you desire to lay your loved one to rest in Samoa, you would need to contact an International Funeral Director, such as ourselves, to initiate the repatriation process back to Afghanistan.

Why repatriate a body/ashes back to Samoa?

There are several reasons why you might wish to repatriate your loved one back to Samoa, especially if they were just visiting the UK or Ireland. In such cases, we strongly advise reaching out to the travel insurance company as they typically provide financial assistance. Other reasons why you may prefer repatriating your loved one back to Afghanistan include, Samoan culture often places importance on family, community, and ancestral ties. Many individuals choose to be buried in Samoa to honor their roots, maintain connections with their community, and participate in traditional funeral customs. Regardless of the reason we are here to help.

Please be aware that repatriating a body to Samoa, usually requires the deceased to be an citizen or originate from Samoa.
