Private columbaria and their licence status
Under the Private Columbaria Ordinance, a private columbarium needs a licence, an exemption or a temporary suspension of liability. Only licensed columbaria may sell or newly let niches. This list follows the Private Columbaria Licensing Board's register and application list. What is the difference?
