Body & Ashes Repatriation Uganda

Uganda is a country located in East Africa, with a population estimated to be around 46 million people. It is known for its diverse wildlife, stunning landscapes including Lake Victoria and the Rwenzori Mountains, and vibrant culture. The official languages spoken in Uganda are English and Swahili.

The presence of British or Irish people in Uganda is relatively significant due to its popularity as a tourist destination, work opportunities in sectors such as development projects, education, and wildlife conservation. Many British or Irish expatriates choose to live in Uganda for its natural beauty, volunteering opportunities, and cultural experiences. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various industries, and support community development 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 Uganda, Rosy International's Uganda team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Kampala, Gulu, Lira, Mbarara, Jinja or any other specified location in Uganda.
