Body & Ashes Repatriation Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is a large country located in the Middle East, with a population estimated to be around 35 million people. It is known for its rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and diverse landscapes, including vast deserts and stunning coastlines. Arabic is the official language of Saudi Arabia, and Islam is the predominant religion.

The number of British or Irish people living in Saudi Arabia is relatively significant due to business opportunities, particularly in sectors such as oil and gas, construction, finance, and healthcare. British or Irish expatriates in Saudi Arabia contribute to the country's workforce and engage in various professional activities. They may reside in major cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam.

We can arrange collection from Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Dammam or any other specified location in Saudi Arabia.
