Body & Ashes Repatriation Tonga

Tonga, officially known as the Kingdom of Tonga, is a Polynesian country located in the South Pacific, with a population estimated to be around 100,000 people. It is known for its stunning beaches, coral reefs, and traditional culture. The official language spoken in Tonga is Tongan.

The presence of British or Irish people in Tonga is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish expatriates residing in Tonga for various reasons, such as work, research, or cultural exchanges. They contribute to the country's development efforts, engage in activities related to their respective fields, and promote cultural understanding.

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 Tonga, Rosy International's Tonga team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Nukuʻalofa, Neiafu, Haveluloto, Vaini, Pangai or any other specified location in Tonga.
