Body & Ashes Repatriation Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone is a country located on the western coast of Africa, with a population estimated to be around 8 million people. It is known for its natural beauty, including pristine beaches, rainforests, and wildlife. The official language of Sierra Leone is English, and the majority of the population practices Islam or Christianity.

The presence of British or Irish individuals in Sierra Leone is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Sierra Leone for various reasons, such as working in development projects, volunteering, or conducting research. They contribute to the country's development efforts and engage in activities related to their respective fields.

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 Sierra Leone, Rosy International's Sierra Leone team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Freetown, Bo, Kenema, Koidu, Makeni or any other specified location in Sierra Leone.
