Body & Ashes Repatriation Timor-Leste

Timor-Leste, also known as East Timor, is a small country located in Southeast Asia, with a population estimated to be around 1.3 million people. It is known for its beautiful landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and recent history as a newly independent nation. The official languages spoken in Timor-Leste are Tetum and Portuguese.

The presence of British or Irish people in Timor-Leste is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Timor-Leste for various reasons, such as development projects, education, or diplomatic assignments. They contribute to the country's development efforts, engage in activities related to their respective fields, and support nation-building initiatives.

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 Timor-Leste, Rosy International's Timor-Leste team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Dili, Same, Ainaro, Baucau, Liquiçá or any other specified location in Timor-Leste.
