Cape Collinson Crematorium

Cape Collinson Crematorium is a crematorium located in Tai Tam Gap, Eastern District, Hong Kong. It was opened in 1962 and is located near Cape Collinson Road and more cemeteries in Chai Wan area, where the columbaria niches are located. The crematorium is managed by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Hong Kong Government. In addition to the basic cremation services, there is a garden of remembrance and a 7-storey columbarium of about 56 m2 for spreading cremated ashes.

Among many funeral facilities, Cape Collinson Crematorium is located furthest away from residential areas. Therefore, many celebrities in the city, such as entertainers, choose to be cremated in this crematorium after their deaths.

History
In view of the increasing demand for cremation services, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department would rebuild the Cape Collinson Crematorium in two phases which included in the rebuilding of ten new cremation furnaces and ancillary facilities on the original site, which was expected to be completed in December 2014. In order to reduce the air pollutants generated during combustion, the new cremator would use coal gas as fuel instead of ultra-low sulfur diesel.
