Funeral information and company updates.
NEWS
Begin by contacting the temple or Buddhist monastic familiar with the deceased. Agree the chanting, number of officiants, timing and family participation; prepare the memorial tablet and offerings according to the officiant's and venue's requirements.
Read more →A Taoist funeral usually connects the wake, overnight vigil, farewell ceremony and departure. Chanting rites and the Breaking the Hell Gate ceremony depend on the family's wishes; agree the rituals, timing and family roles with the officiating Taoist priest.
Read more →Tim Fat Funeral is at G/F, 26 Baker Street, Hung Hom. Telephone first to agree an arrival time, particularly when visiting at night or accompanying older relatives.
Read more →Exhuming skeletal remains, removing ashes from a public niche and adding another person's ashes are different procedures. First identify the current location and permit holder.
Read more →Confirm the deceased's wishes, ashes documents and relatives' participation needs, then apply for the chosen location and date through FEHD.
Read more →Check the premises' licensing status and the exact area available for sale before reviewing tenure, renewal, transfer and management fees. Avoid making a rushed contractual commitment.
Read more →Consider where relatives live, realistic journeys and future remembrance visits. Check transport and incense restrictions for the particular allocated area, not simply the facility name.
Read more →FEHD accepts public-niche applications monthly. First check the deceased's eligibility, organise identification and cremation evidence, then retain the application reference and check the ballot result.
Read more →Start with how many people will attend at the same time, then ask about available rooms, rental slots and inclusions. The three examples below illustrate enquiries, not a ranking.
Read more →Confirm the wake date and permitted display areas before ordering portraits, tribute stands, inscriptions or baskets. When time is short, prioritise correct wording, delivery times and the on-site contact.
Read more →Coffin prices depend on material, dimensions, construction and use. Establish the deceased's measurements and whether cremation or burial is intended before choosing by appearance. Price ranges require a case-specific quotation.
Read more →First establish whether the deceased received Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA). The relative or friend responsible for the funeral should ask the Social Welfare Department (SWD) about eligibility, evidence and deadlines. A quotation is not grant approval.
Read more →Separate FEHD charges from the funeral service quotation. Niches, temporary ashes storage and certificates are different items and are not automatically needed by every family.
Read more →Costs depend on the case and services selected. Omitting a wake removes the mourning-hall arrangement, but documents, transfer, cremation and any farewell the family wishes to retain still need coordination.
Read more →A label alone does not establish a charging problem. A quotation should explain who pays, when approval is needed, what can change and how payments will be documented.
