More about Kowloon Funeral Parlour

Kowloon Funeral Parlour was established by Mr. Siu Ming, the founder of Hong Kong Funeral Parlour, in 1958. It was the first large-scale funeral parlour. The late movie star Bruce Lee's funeral was also held there.

In 2008, Kowloon Funeral Parlour underwent phased renovations. A number of modern equipment was added so as to enhance the quality of services. In 2009, the 3/F was even set aside as "Quiet Zone" equipped with wooden pews, electric organ, arched windows and audio-visual facilities, providing a serene atmosphere and condolence space for Christians, Catholics and people without religions, to conduct western-style funeral services or memorial services. It is the first funeral parlour in Hong Kong who sets up a chapel for funeral purposes.

Kowloon Funeral Parlour and the residential area in Tai Kok Tsui are just across the street, so for many years, there have been complaints from residents about the smell produced from incense burners and air pollution caused by ashes. In addition, the noise during the funeral rituals also constituted noise problem. In view of this, the District Council proposed an exchange for land in 2009 and relocated the parlour to Hung Hom. Later, those issues were left unsettled.
