With the "Death Registration Certificate" (Form 12), Cremation Permit (Form 3), and Death Certificate, relatives can proceed to apply for cremation at the Joint Office. They need to fill out the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department's "Application for Private Cremation." The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, in accordance with its service pledge, will provide an unallocated cremation time slots within 15 days from the day following the submission of the cremation application.
When choosing a cremation date, relatives must ensure that the funeral time matches the booked cremation session. The application form must be filled out with the information of the hired licensed undertaker, signed by the undertaker, and stamped with the undertaker's seal approved by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department. Wing Fook Funeral planners will assist the family in filling out the "Application for Private Cremation" and coordinating the funeral date and venue. If the family has a "Certificate of Authorization to Cremate Body" (Form 11) issued by the Coroner's Court, they can directly apply to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department for a cremation session.
If the family has religious considerations and needs to choose a date for the funeral, Wing Fook Funeral planners will also help the family select a date and coordinate the booking of the funeral venue during the date selection process to ensure the smooth conduct of the funeral.
