Funeral arrangements in Hong Kong: costs, licences and booking

Updated 4 November 2026

A funeral in Hong Kong can cost from around HK$10,000 to over a million dollars, depending on the venue, the service and whether the family chooses burial or cremation. A funeral parlour service plan is listed at HK$16,800 to HK$29,800, and an adult cremation at about HK$1,220. Ask for an itemised quote, and request current offers on BlaBlaPrice to compare providers.

Licences and official fees

Funeral parlours must be licensed. The government's after-death guide in the search results lists seven licensed funeral parlours in Hong Kong. Ask the provider for its licence number and check it before you sign anything. Official fees are separate: the certificate of cremation costs HK$140, and a death certificate costs HK$140 if collected in person.

Season and timing

Winter in Hong Kong runs from December to February and summer from June to August. Funerals are not planned around the seasons, so timing depends on the family's schedule and the venue's availability. Ask the provider for the earliest available date for the service and the venue, and confirm it in writing.

How it is priced and bought here

Providers quote a package fee, while cremation and flowers appear as separate prices, so the total is the sum of several items. A consumer study of funeral services found minimum charges that differed by nearly double, from HK$27,780 to HK$56,800, which is why an itemised quote matters. Name the city in your request: Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun.

What to write in your request

Say what is needed and when, the city or cemetery, and whether the family chooses burial or cremation. Add whether you need transport, the type of service or farewell, whether coffin and supplies are included, and your budget. If you have a religious or non-religious preference, mention it, since providers price services differently.
