Cemeteries and Crematoria

As there is a limited amount of land in Hong Kong, the Government encourages cremation of the dead. Normally, human remains in public cemeteries are exhumed after six years and are either cremated or interred in urn cemeteries.

The FEHD operates six government crematoria and 11 public cemeteries, and oversees the management of 28 private cemeteries.
