Body & Ashes Repatriation Sweden

Sweden is a country located in Northern Europe, with a population estimated to be around 10 million people. It is known for its stunning natural landscapes, progressive social policies, and high standard of living. The official language spoken in Sweden is Swedish.

The presence of British or Irish people in Sweden is relatively significant due to various reasons, including work opportunities, education, and cultural exchanges. Many British or Irish expatriates choose to live in Sweden for its quality of life, career prospects, and social welfare system. They contribute to the country's workforce, engage in research and innovation, and add to the cultural diversity of Swedish society.

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 Sweden, Rosy International's Sweden team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Västerås or any other specified location in Sweden.
