Cemeteries and Crematoria |
As land is a limited resource in the HKSAR, it is the Government's policy to encourage cremation of the dead. Normally, human remains buried in public cemeteries have to be exhumed after six years and be either cremated or reinterred in an urn cemetery. The FEHD operates six government crematoria and 11 public cemeteries, and oversees the management of 28 private cemeteries. |
