- Covers Tsang Tsui, Wo Hop Shek Phase 6, Cape Collinson New and Shek Mun columbaria
- If the chosen site is oversubscribed, a Tsang Tsui niche is offered instead, which may be declined
- Declining a niche won at the chosen site bars a new application for the same deceased there for six months
- Apply online via the Cemeteries and Crematoria Services Platform
