People say that we may not always be together while we’re alive, but we can be buried together after we die.
Life is priceless, but the cemetery has a price
People say that everyone is equal when it comes to dying, but not with the price of the cemetery.
In Hong Kong, “it is hard to find a burial place” has become a cruel reality. The rich spend a lot of money to buy columbarium with sky-high prices, while ordinary citizens can only apply for the government’s columbarium. Most of the columbaria are nearly full – reusable plots that are subject to mandatory exhumation after just six years.
In China, the use of the cemetery is only available for 20 yearsii. After 20 years, if you do not continue to pay, the ashes will be removed. Moreover, the price of cemeteries is more expensive and unacceptable. For the people who more traditional, it is impossible to buy cemeteries for their families.
The Branch Manager of Valley View said that older people and young generation are increasingly starting to plan for themselves and bring their children to Valley View for consultation.
“Plan ahead for the future and don’t burden your family and friends,” are on the minds of most people.
Adults plan for themselves and their parents for this eventuality and do not want to be unprepared.
“Pre-Plan before the rain.” is what most Chinese adults have in mind.
