An order to remove and dispose of human remains buried in 2015 in six public cemeteries was gazetted today.

The six cemeteries are the coffin sections of Wo Hop Shek Cemetery, Cheung Chau Cemetery, Tai O Cemetery and Lai Chi Yuen Cemetery as well as the T Section of Sandy Ridge Cemetery and the Government Urn Section of Sandy Ridge Urn Cemetery.

People who wish to arrange for private exhumation and disposal of the human remains subject to removal should apply in person to the Food & Environmental Hygiene Department’s Cemeteries & Crematoria Office by September 2.

Any remains buried in the six cemeteries not exhumed will be cremated at a government crematorium.

The ashes will be buried at Sandy Ridge Urn Cemetery or other cemeteries.
