It is listed in the licensed undertaker premises list published by FEHD. Under the Undertaker Regulations ( Chapter 132CB ), undertaking businesses related to the cremation or burial of human bodies of the deceased must be licensed .
What does "never charge for miscellaneous expenses" mean?
We quote using one itemised list and one price. The listed items represent the complete agreed service, with no later additions described as advances, miscellaneous charges or errand fees. Statutory government fees, such as HK$1,220 for adult cremation and HK$140 for a death certificate copy, and funeral parlour venue charges are third-party costs and are listed separately.
Will the quotation be stated in writing?
Yes. The written list will itemize the style and material size of the coffin, the number of pieces of burial clothing, the items and quantity of paper offerings, the number of floral tribute stands and their upper, middle and lower styles, the level and time of the auditorium, the hearse, the number of funeral buses, the number of religious masters , and whether the government cremation fee has been covered . Families can take it away and check it slowly, discuss it with them, and even decide on the price.
Can I reach you late at night or on public holidays?
Yes. We provide 24-hour phone support and body of the deceased pick-up arrangements, phone 82099774 , WhatsApp 62384028 , Mr Wu 24-hour answering .
How long does it usually take from the first call to the funeral?
It depends on the case. The main constraint is the cremation session: FEHD’s performance pledge is to make unallocated sessions available within 15 days from the day after submission. Once death registration (within 24 hours for a natural death) and the Cremation Permit are completed, the cremation can be booked, and the hall and ceremony arranged around it. For an unnatural death, the Coroner must first issue Form 11, so the process takes considerably longer.
What is the most economical arrangement?
The simplest options are a hospital farewell ceremony or a direct funeral from hospital: after a brief farewell in the hospital where the person died, the body is taken directly to the crematorium. No wake or funeral hall hire is involved, keeping the overall cost to a minimum. These arrangements are generally available only to patients who died in that hospital, usually during office hours. For a CSSA recipient, the family may also apply for an SWD burial grant (up to HK$17,870 in 2026). We offer concessionary funeral services for CSSA recipients, from HK$8,800.
Can you expedite government procedures?
No, not anyone. FEHD clearly stated that the application procedure is simple and can be submitted by oneself, and there is no need to entrust other persons or institutions to handle it ; FEHD has not entrusted any institution or person to receive or process applications on its behalf, and no one will enjoy any convenience or privilege . FEHD also does not authorise any funeral director to act as an agent for funeral matters . We only help organize documents, check eligibility and explain the process.
Do you book the funeral hall, or should I book it myself?
Either option is possible. Families can arrange a rental through any licensed undertaker or enquire directly with the funeral parlour. However, the hall booking must match the allocated cremation time slot. Changing the slot requires FEHB 264, and fees already paid are non-refundable. Having the same undertaker coordinate both bookings is therefore much more reliable.
Which funeral parlours do you work with?
Hong Kong currently has seven licensed funeral parlours. We can arrange hire at any of them: Hong Kong Funeral Home (679 King’s Road, North Point); Kowloon Funeral Parlour (1A Maple Street, Tai Kok Tsui); Universal Funeral Parlour (the entire premises at 10–10A Cheong Hang Road, Hung Hom); International Funeral Parlour (8 Cheong Hang Road, Hung Hom); TWGHs Diamond Hill Funeral Parlour (181 Po Kong Village Road); Global Funeral Parlour (Blocks A and B, 6 Cheong Hang Road, Hung Hom); and Po Fook Memorial Hall (1 Yau On Street, Sha Tin).

Taoist and Buddhist ceremony packages start from HK$9,800. Where family members have different beliefs, we can discuss an arrangement that accommodates them.
Can I buy coffins, burial clothing, and paper offerings myself?

Cremation coffins must comply with the FEHD Code (avoid being larger than height 710/width 760/length 1,980 mm , no metal or PVC accessories are allowed on the surface, and the name of the deceased must be listed on the coffin), and must comply with the Cremation and Gardens of Remembrance Regulation ( Chapter 132M ); environmentally friendly coffins The load capacity cannot be less than 150 kg .
