The Food & Environmental Hygiene Department said today it has fulfilled its performance pledge over the years by offering cremation sessions to applicants within 15 days of their applications.

The department was commenting in response to media enquiries about cremation services, and iterated that it is committed to providing the public with efficient and dignified cremation services.

It also highlighted that some 350 cremation sessions are available at different crematoria from tomorrow to November 25.

Applications can be submitted online at any time, or in person during office hours. The department stressed that all applicants are assigned a cremation session immediately, and that there are no instances in which applicants cannot obtain a cremation session within 15 days.
