Funeral services in Hong Kong: package prices and licences

Updated 4 November 2026

Non-religious funeral service plans in Hong Kong are listed from about HK$16,800, and a local study of packages found a range from HK$13,520 to HK$35,800. Government cremation charges are much lower and are listed separately. To receive offers that fit your family's wishes and district, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and official fees

Funeral parlours and undertakers of burials must be licensed. The government publishes a list of licensed funeral parlours and undertakers, so check a provider's name against it and ask for its licence number. Registering a death has no fee, but each death certificate costs HK$140 when collected in person or sent to a local address, and HK$275 when sent overseas. A certificate of cremation costs HK$140.

Season and planning

Funerals cannot wait for a season, but planning ahead helps families compare packages calmly. If you are arranging a pre-planned service, November is a good time to ask for written quotes. Ask each provider to state its timing for the hot summer months, June to August, and for winter, December to February, so you know what changes with the season.

How services are bought in Hong Kong

Providers quote packages rather than hourly rates, and the cremation or burial fee is often listed separately from the service. Work covers Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun, so state the district where the service begins and whether it starts at a hospital or at home. Ask whether transport within the territory is included and whether the package lists each item.

What to write in your request

Say the district, the type of service you want, whether it is religious or non-religious, and how many people you expect. Mention whether a hospital departure, a cremation or a burial is needed, the timing you prefer and your budget. You can keep the request short, because sellers will ask for any further details they need in the chat.

Buying on BlaBlaPrice is free. You describe the service in your own words in a chat, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through funeral providers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered providers receive your request and reply in the chat with their package and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact.
