Body & Ashes Repatriation Slovakia

Slovakia is a landlocked country located in Central Europe, with a population estimated to be around 5.5 million people. It is known for its picturesque landscapes, including the High Tatras mountains, historic castles, and charming towns. The official language spoken in Slovakia is Slovak.

The number of British or Irish people living in Slovakia is relatively small compared to other European countries. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Slovakia for various reasons, such as work, study, or personal relationships. They contribute to the country's cultural diversity and may engage in activities such as teaching English, working in international organizations, or cultural exchanges.

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 Slovakia, Rosy International's Slovakia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Bratislava, Košice, Prešov, Žilina, Nitra or any other specified location in Slovakia.
