Frequently Asked Questions
What are funeral services?
Funeral services are the various services provided for the deceased, including funeral ceremonies held at funeral parlours, churches, hospitals or public mortuaries, and cremation or burial services. Funeral service companies offer a range of funeral packages that cater to the needs of different religions, offer green burial options and respect the traditional customs of the deceased, giving them a complete ‘graduation’. Whether it is a traditional funeral or a modern green burial, we can offer you the most suitable option and give you the greatest comfort during this difficult time.
How should I budget for funeral service fees?
Funeral service fees generally fall into two types: a ‘traditional funeral’, with a wake held at a funeral parlour or church, and a ‘hospital farewell service’, with the departure ceremony held directly at a hospital or public mortuary. Fees for Taoist rites, Buddhist rites and Western-style funerals vary widely, and the choice depends on the family’s requirements and budget.
How much are cemetery and crematorium fees?
To have the deceased cremated, you must first obtain a ‘Cremation Permit’ from the Department of Health at the Joint Office, then apply for cremation with the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, book a cremation slot at one of its crematoria and pay the relevant cremation fee. Crematorium fee standards, calculation and payment methods all differ. These fees are part of the funeral service and ensure every procedure runs smoothly, so that the family can farewell their loved one with peace of mind.
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Adult cremation (aged 12 or above) | HK$1,220 |
| Child cremation (under 12) | HK$650 |
| Adult burial (aged 12 or above) | HK$3,190 |
| Child burial (under 12) | HK$2,605 |
What are the different ways to handle the ashes of the deceased?
Ways of handling the ashes include scattering them, placing them in a columbarium niche, or keeping them at home. Scattering means spreading the ashes in designated waters in Hong Kong or in a Garden of Remembrance; placing them in a niche means putting the urn in a public or private columbarium. Each method has its own meaning and rituals, allowing the family to choose the most suitable option according to the wishes of the deceased and the needs of the family.
What is the difference between a funeral parlour and a funeral shop?
Both funeral parlours and funeral shops (known locally as ‘longevity shops’) can arrange funerals. The biggest difference is that funeral parlours have mortuary facilities and halls, while funeral shops need to rent these facilities from a funeral parlour. Their services generally include guiding clients through or handling death certificate documents, applying for cremation or burial, selling or ordering coffins, urns, incense, candles, joss paper and other funeral supplies, and arranging staff such as ceremony masters, undertakers, Taoist priests and monks. These services ensure every detail is properly handled, so that the family can focus on mourning the deceased. In addition, funeral shops can offer personalised designs according to the family’s wishes, while funeral parlours, due to service restrictions, cannot provide customised funerals.
How do I obtain death documents?
Applying for death documents is the first step in handling funeral matters. Under Hong Kong law, after a family member passes away, the family must register the death with the relevant government department. Registration is free of charge, and only after it is completed can you apply for a ‘Certified Copy of an Entry in a Register of Deaths’, commonly known as the ‘death certificate’. There is no fee for registering a death, while each death certificate costs HK$140 (collected in person / sent to a local address) or HK$275 (overseas applications). These documents are essential for the subsequent funeral services and ensure all procedures comply with the law.
