The columbarium was opened in response to the dire shortage of urn spaces in Hong Kong. The city's ageing population and high death rates had pushed the government's urn capacity to its limits, leading to a severe shortage of places to lay its residents to rest. The columbarium was designed to accommodate 23,000 funeral urns, offering a range of options for families to choose from.[3][4]
The basic two-person option starts at $58,000, while the top-tier package can cost up to $3 million. The cost makes it unaffordable for most people.[5]
