Body & Ashes Repatriation Zambia

Zambia is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa, with a population estimated to be around 18 million people. It is known for its stunning landscapes, including Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, as well as its diverse wildlife. The official language spoken in Zambia is English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Zambia is relatively significant due to various reasons, including work opportunities, tourism, and development projects. Many British or Irish expatriates choose to live in Zambia 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 Zambia, Rosy International's Zambia team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Lusaka, Kitwe, Ndola, Kabwe, Chingola or any other specified location in Zambia.
