  • PWP No. 016NB Phased Reprovisioning of Cape Collinson Crematorium Environmental Impact Assessment Study EIA Report
    PWP No. 016NB Phased Reprovisioning of Cape Collinson Crematorium Environmental Impact Assessment Study EIA Report 3 AIR QUALITY Introduction 3.1 This Section presents an assessment of the potential air quality impacts associated with the demolition of the existing crematorium, construction and operation of the new crematorium. The air quality impact assessment was conducted in accordance with the requirements of Annex 4 and Annex 12 of the Technical Memorandum on Environmental Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM) as well as the requirements set out under Clause 3.4.1 and Appendix B of the EIA Study Brief. Description of the Project Project Background 3.2 The existing Cape Collinson Crematorium has started operation since 1962. Cremator Nos. 1- 10 were replaced in 1995 and Nos. 11-12 were commissioned in 2001. In order to cope with an increasing demand for cremation service, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) proposes to demolish the existing crematorium as well as to construct and operate a new crematorium in-situ as a replacement (hereinafter referred to as the Project). 3.3 The Project will be developed in two phases, namely Phases 1 and Phase 2. The Project Site is the site of the existing Cape Collinson Crematorium which consists of four service halls with twelve cremators. Site formation work will be carried out at the beginning of Phase 1 which involves extension of the existing car park area for the construction of an access road. After the site formation has been completed, a new crematorium with 4 cremators will be constructed to the north of the existing crematorium.

    CORPSES TO CREMAINS, CHICKENS TO JPEGS The Reception of Cremation and Related Rites by Hong Kong’s Practitioners of Popular Religion by Marc Lodge Andrew Lagace A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Marc Lodge Andrew Lagace 2017 CORPSES TO CREMAINS, CHICKENS TO JPEGS The Reception of Cremation and Related Rites by Hong Kong’s Practitioners of Popular Religion Marc Lodge Andrew Lagace Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study investigates cremation in Hong Kong as well as a number of related practices—the use of columbaria, green burials, and the worship of ancestors online. Why these practices emerged is considered in addition to their promotion by the state and reception by practitioners of popular religion. It is demonstrated that cremation became accepted with little fuss for practical, political, and cultural-religious reasons. It is also shown that columbaria, although possessing desirable fengshui, are problematic in that they lack sites for worshiping Houtu and are becoming smoke-free. Green burials, campaigned for by the state and endorsed by ethicists, have been met with resistance because they involve scattering cremated ashes (viewed as harmful and/or disrespectful to the dead) and fail to provide ancestors with permanent places of rest. With regard to online worship, there has been little enthusiasm as it is does not concord with people’s ritual sensibilities. ii Acknowledgments I would like to extend my thanks to all of my teachers, past and present, particularly Dr.

As one book aptly sums up the baseline with its title: “No foreign bones in China”.2 In general, the Chinese attitude is summarized in the well-known dictum: “fallen leaves return to their roots” (luoye guigen 落葉歸根). Thus, even if a burial needs to be done somewhere else, it is conceived of as only temporary with the ideal of a one-day return “to the roots” – even if not manageable in practice. 3 In southern China, where secondary burial is common, this idea of “moving” the dead is not as unusual a thought as it might seem in most Western Christian contexts where the ideal is represented by “R.I.P.” (requiescat in pace): to leave the dead to rest in peace without disturbing them any further.
