Body & Ashes Repatriation South Korea

South Korea, officially known as the Republic of Korea, is a country located in East Asia, with a population estimated to be around 51 million people. It is known for its technological advancements, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant pop culture. The official language spoken in South Korea is Korean.

The presence of British or Irish people in South Korea is relatively significant due to various opportunities, such as work, education, and cultural exchanges.

They contribute to the country's diverse society, engage in cultural exchanges, and experience the dynamic Korean lifestyle.
