Body & Ashes Repatriation Senegal

Senegal is a country located on the western coast of Africa, with a population estimated to be around 17 million people. It is known for its vibrant culture, music, and diverse landscapes, including sandy beaches, mangroves, and savannahs. The official language of Senegal is French, and the majority of the population practices Islam.

The presence of British or Irish individuals in Senegal is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Senegal for various reasons, such as business, education, or development work. They contribute to the country's cultural diversity and engage in activities related to their respective fields or projects.

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 Senegal, Rosy International's Senegal team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Dakar, Pikine, Touba, Thies, Rufisque or any other specified location in Senegal.
