interment of cremated ashes is to place the cremated ashes in columbarium niches.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Government columbaria <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are 12 public columbaria managed by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD). The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fehd.gov.hk\/english\/cc\/ccstatus\/NICIDENG.HTML\">FEHD website<\/a> lists the available ash niches for application.<\/p>\n<p>The FEHD&#8217;s columbarium offers two types of ash niches to choose from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>standard niches \u2013 holding two sets of cremated ashes<\/li>\n<li>large niches \u2013 holding four sets of cremated ashes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The subsequent set of cremated ashes deposited in a niche shall be those of a close relative of or in close relationship with the deceased first deposited in that niche.<\/p>\n<p>Kinship is a general term referring to the most common types of \u201crelatives\u201d, which includes spouses, parents, grandparents, siblings, spouse\u2019s father, spouse&#8217;s mother, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, or direct descendants of the paternal or maternal line.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, with effect from 26 April 2019, the FEHD has implemented extendable allocation arrangements for public niches. The initial interment period is 20 years and can be extended at 10-year intervals thereafter upon payment of the prevailing prescribed fee, with no upper limit on the number of times a niche may be extended. For details, please refer to the FEHD&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fehd.gov.hk\/english\/cc\/notice_ceased_apply_re-used_niche.pdf\">notice<\/a> (in Chinese only) and the relevant introductory video.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Columbaria in private cemeteries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to government-managed cemeteries, other private cemeteries in Hong Kong also provide columbarium niches for ash placement. Common cemeteries include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmcpc.org.hk\/tc\/home\/index.html\">Chinese Permanent Cemeteries (website in Chinese only)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkcccu.cemeteries.org.hk\/\">Hong Kong Chinese Christian Churches Union Cemetery (website in Chinese only)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkbuddhist.org\/zh\/page.php?cid=6&amp;scid=63\">Hong Kong Buddhist Cemetery (website in Chinese only)<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/catholic.org.hk\/en\/burial\/\">Catholic Cemeteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Private Columbaria<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hklii.hk\/en\/legis\/ord\/630\">Private Columbaria Ordinance (Cap. 630)<\/a> came into effect on 30 June 2017. Under the ordinance, operating a private columbarium in Hong Kong requires a license, exemption, or temporary exemption from liability (TSOL). Only licensed private columbaria can sell or rent niches to new tenants. A list of licensed private columbaria can be found and verified on the website of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fehd.gov.hk\/pclb\/english\/list_pc_registration_part1.php\">Private Columbaria Licensing Board<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Ordinance, a 9-month grace period between 30 June 2017 and 29 March 2018 will be applicable to a private columbarium that was in operation immediately before 30 June 2017. For columbarium which was not in operation immediately before 30 June 2017 or columbarium which has been in operation since 1 July 2017, the grace period does not apply.<\/p>\n<p>During the grace period, private columbarium that were still in operation up until 30 June 2017, can continue to operate, but their operators cannot sell or rent niches to new tenants during the grace period. After the grace period, private columbarium niches must obtain a license, exemption, or temporary exemption from legal liability to continue operating, otherwise, they must cease operations and carry out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fehd.gov.hk\/rpc\/filemanager\/template\/en\/pdf\/Guidelines%20for%20Carrying%20Out%20the%20Prescribed%20Ash%20Disposal%20Procedures.pdf\">\u201cPrescribed Ash Disposal Procedures<\/a>&#8221; as required by law.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">FAQ<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What happens if the chosen private columbarium is not licensed?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ashes can be placed in a private columbarium until 29 March 2018.
