The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) will accept applications with effect from 1 March 2021 for the scattering of cremated ashes in the Garden of Remembrance (GoR) at the Tuen Mun Tsang Tsui Columbarium.

The 4,800 square metres GoR is the biggest GoR managed by the FEHD.  It strives to integrate with the natural environment featuring a variety of flowers and plants in a scenic and tranquil environment, with memorial walls for mounting plaques in memory of the deceased.  It is also the first GoR with areas covered by featured pebble stones.  Members of the public can choose to scatter the cremated ashes of their loved ones themselves or with the help of dedicated staff of the FEHD.  Memorial rituals may be performed.  Family members and friends can come to these tranquil surroundings at any time to remember their loved ones.
