Life and Death

Choosing a professional and reliable funeral service company is important for a smooth funeral. You can be sure that the funeral company will provide you with the funeral services you need, including religious rituals, venue arrangements and so on. Choosing a funeral company with rich experience and good reputation can better guarantee the quality of service. Avoid hidden costs by choosing a company with a clear price list and understand the price details of each funeral service.

Depending on different religious rituals, the needs of the family and the personal characteristics of the deceased, the cost of funeral services usually ranges from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Graceful Funeral provides personalized funeral services, and will clearly state the price of funeral services and arrangements according to the needs of the family members, and provide a clear-cut funeral service package plan. Family members are welcome to contact our staff to determine the funeral budget and then choose according to their own budget.

In Hong Kong, the procedures for applying for death certificates and booking cremators are relatively convenient. In particular, the Government has set up joint offices on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon to enable applicants to handle a number of related procedures at the same location, including death registration, issuance of “death certificates”, approval of cremation applications, payment of cremation fees and cremation period booking.

Our funeral services include collection of hospital documents and issuance of death certificate on behalf of the family. Once we have finalized the details of the funeral, confirmed the date of the wake and the date of the funeral, we can then book the cremator or purchase the burial plot. Before the funeral, we will keep in touch with the family and answer their questions.

From the seventh day to two months from the date of cremation, the ash collector (who must be the applicant listed on the “Cremation Fee Receipt”) may collect the ashes of the deceased at the Cemeteries and Crematoria Section of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (Kowloon or Hong Kong Island District Offices) or the crematorium. When collecting the ashes, the applicant will be issued with a “Permit for Collection of Ashes”, commonly known as “Ashes Paper”.

After the funeral, Blessing Funeral Service Company will follow up on the retrieval of the ashes and arrange for the interment / scattering of ashes or gravesite construction, so that all the details of the funeral will be handled in a proper manner.
