Hong Kong Burial Service

Due to factors such as technological development and resource allocation, cremation has become the mainstream practice for handling post-death matters in modern society. However, traditional Chinese culture values concepts like “preserving the whole body” and “burial for peace,” leading many to prefer burial despite the higher costs.

In addition to the costs of burial, the processes and procedures involved are more complex than other funeral methods. As a result, many younger generations may feel uncertain about how to manage family burial plots, purchase graves, or conduct burial ceremonies when it comes time to handle these matters for their elders.

We understand that for most people, personally managing burial affairs can be overwhelming. As a professional licensed funeral service provider, Hong Kong Funeral Services offers a one-stop burial service with transparent pricing and no hidden fees, arranging the best burial ceremonies for the deceased.

Though the tree may reach great heights, its leaves return to the roots. Resting peacefully in hallowed ground, everything returns to the earth. Whether departing from a mortuary, funeral home, or church, one can choose burial to honor their ancestors.

Burial is a time-honored method of handling remains, commonly referred to as a funeral practice in mainland China. Both traditional Chinese culture and various Western cultures have customs of burying deceased relatives in the earth after conducting funeral rituals.

The primary practice of burial involves placing the deceased’s body, along with certain commemorative items of significance, into a coffin, which is then interred in a grave at a cemetery. Burial is not only a traditional method embraced by different countries but is also the primary means of handling remains in various religious beliefs, including Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity. This practice allows the deceased to find peace in the earth, resting eternally beneath the soil.

Explanation of Burial in Hong Kong

Regardless of the religion or form of funeral service that the family wishes to hold for the departed person, the disposal of the body by burial after the funeral service is held generally involves the following process:

Choosing the right burial plot: Many public and private cemeteries in Hong Kong offer burial plots suitable for interment. The usage periods for different types of plots may vary, so it is advisable to consider factors such as cost and duration of use before deciding on the appropriate location for burial, whether in a public or private cemetery.
Preparing a suitable coffin for burial: Coffins for cremation and burial differ in materials and design. When selecting a coffin for burial, it is important to consider the deceased’s and family’s religious beliefs, as well as traditional funeral customs. Choosing an appropriate coffin ensures that the deceased is laid to rest in the most fitting manner, in both the coffin and the burial plot.
Funeral and other funeral ceremonies: After deciding on the burial site and the coffin for the body, the funeral and funeral ceremonies can be arranged according to the needs of the deceased and his/her relatives;
Completion of Burial: Upon completion of the funeral ceremony, the burial society will arrange for professional pallbearers to handle the burial procedures to ensure that the entire burial process can be completed smoothly.
