Hong Kong Funeral & Columbarium Guide

Key dates

Dates that matter when applying for a public niche or planning a visit: monthly niche application windows and draws, traffic and opening arrangements around Ching Ming and Chung Yeung, and private columbarium licensing dates. Each links its official source; dates can change, so the government's own notice is authoritative.
