Davy Chow's Locker
As we all know, real estate comes at a real premium in Hong Kong. And that goes for the dead, too - an actual burial here in Hong Kong with all the trimmings would probably set you back close to HK$1 million. Maybe more. Obviously, not everyone can afford that. Or even the HK$150,000 or so it would cost to rent out a funeral home room and a tiny slot to place your loved one's urn. So the Hong Kong government is now proposing that they would cremate the dead, and then have a designated area next to the sea where the ashes would be dump...oops, I mean deposited with dignity. Health Secretary York Chow: "We are exploring with the relevant government departments to designate suitable areas in Hong Kong waters for sea burials and put in place a well devised application mechanism with clear approval criteria and conditions,"I wonder if this is the government's last-ditch attempt to stymie a proper Hong Kong harborfront? posted by HK Dave on 11.17.06 at 05:10 PM in the Hong Kong people category.
