Body & Ashes Repatriation Somalia

Somalia is a country located in the Horn of Africa, with a population estimated to be around 15 million people. It has a rich cultural heritage, diverse ethnic groups, and a history deeply rooted in trade and maritime activities. The official languages spoken in Somalia are Somali and Arabic, and the majority of the population practices Islam.

The presence of British or Irish individuals in Somalia is relatively limited due to the country's challenging security situation. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Somalia for various reasons, such as humanitarian work, development projects, or journalism. They contribute to the country's rebuilding 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 Somalia, Rosy International's Somalia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Mogadishu, Hargeisa, Bosaso, Berbera, Kismayo or any other specified location in Somalia.

If your loved one is an Somalis 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.

Many individuals choose to be buried in Somalia to fulfill religious obligations, be laid to rest near their families, and honor their cultural heritage. Regardless of the reason we are here to help.
