Before goodbye 驪歌站前

身 後事安排的兩大部份： 當親人離世，家屬需要處理的 身後的安排主要有兩大部份 ~ 一 ) 殯儀 服務的安排： 這部份包括接 回 先人遺體丶清潔丶防腐消毒、化妝 穿衣、入殮、守夜、禮堂儀式、辦死亡證、安排火葬場、 進行火葬儀式或到墓地進行土葬，揀選棺木、骨灰龕、喪禮用鮮花、 甚至聯絡喪禮主持人、神職人員、牧師等等都屬於殯儀館或禮儀師的工作範圍 。 家屬可以按照先人的意願，宗教和傳統習俗而選擇服務的形式。 雖然法例沒有規定家屬必須使用殯儀服務公司，但是由於有很多細節及法律上的程序和要求，由受過訓練的專業人士去處理會比較穩當和週全。一般家庭亦不會有適當運送及處理遺體的裝備和許可證。  二 )  墓地的安排： 這部份包括揀選安息的地點， 例如土葬墓地、骨灰龕位、雲石陵位等等；入葬或骨灰上位的費用的服務 費用；以及紀念墓碑丶相片丶花瓶等等。 有一些家庭選擇將離世先人的遺體、或骨灰在禮堂儀式結束後，寄或帶回原居地， 或把骨灰帶回家中安放；甚至將骨灰撒在大海或泥土中，這些情況下，就不需要在本地選擇墓地或骨灰龕位。 火葬後先人的骨灰，會歸還給遺囑執行人或擁有法定授權去處理骨灰 的親人。只要以尊重的態度和 形式 處理骨灰，法律上並沒有限制家人 如何處理。 有些家庭將骨灰安放在家中、帶到海外或原居地、 放在私人物物業的花園中、埋葬在墓園內、甚至將骨灰撒掉。 如果城市附例許可，骨灰可以撒在海中、陸地、空中， 或任何具個人意義的地方 。 唯一必須注意的，撒骨灰的決定，是一個不能轉回的行動，骨灰一但撒去，就不能收回，所以必須先考慮清楚。 秦陸蕙莉 生前規劃顧問 Alice Tsung B.S.Sc,    Pre-planning Advisor Call/ Text: 604-7620390 Alice.tsung@dignitymemorial.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/176867840041394 https://www.linkedin.com/in/alice-tsung-781aa853/                   ...

What are the common methods of final disposition of cremated remains? Cremation Niche or Columbarium is an above-ground space to accommodate an urn. Often constructed of numerous niches designed to hold urns. It can be either outdoors or indoors. Cremation Garden is a dedicated section of a cemetery designed for the burial, ossuary or other permanent placement of cremated remains, such as memorial books, benches, or memorial boulders. Many people overlook the importance of cemetery property for those who choose cremation, but permanent placement of the cremated remains is an important part of final arrangements. It’s a permanent site gives loved ones a physical place for visitation and reflection. The ceremony accompanying the placement of an urn in a cemetery provides family and friends with closure after the loss of a loved one. A permanent placement provides future generations with a location to visit and find the connections when researching their heritage. Alice Tsung B. S...
