Cape Collinson Chinese Permanent Cemetery (Chinese: 柴灣華人永遠墳場; lit. 'Chai Wan Chinese Permanent Cemetery') is a private, non-profit cemetery in Cape Collinson, Hong Kong.[1] It is one of the largest cemeteries in Hong Kong.
The term 'Permanent' refers to the cemetery site, not the graves.[2] The cemetery is nevertheless like all other plots of land in the territory subject to a land lease. For this cemetery the lease expire in 2036.[3]
History
Cape Collinson Chinese Permanent Cemetery was opened in 1963 by The Board of Management of the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries,[4][5][6] a statutory body of Hong Kong established in 1913, that manages four Chinese permanent cemeteries in the territory.[7] The cemetery was extended in 1973.[2][8][9][10][11]
