Body & Ashes Repatriation Vietnam

Vietnam is a country located in Southeast Asia, with a population estimated to be around 98 million people. It is known for its beautiful landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. The official language spoken in Vietnam is Vietnamese.

The presence of British or Irish people in Vietnam is relatively significant due to its popularity as a tourist destination, retirement spot, and work opportunities in sectors such as education, hospitality, and manufacturing. Many British or Irish expatriates choose to live in Vietnam for its affordable living costs, warm climate, and cultural experiences. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various industries, and celebrate the cultural diversity of Vietnamese 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 Vietnam, Rosy International's Vietnam team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Hanoi, Da Nang, Hai Phong, Can Tho or any other specified location in Vietnam.
