The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) will conduct an open lot drawing and computer balloting at 10am on July 15, 2026 (Wednesday), for the allocation of new extendable public niches at Wo Hop Shek Columbarium Phase VI in Fanling, Cape Collinson-San Ha Columbarium in Eastern District and Shek Mun Columbarium in Sha Tin.

     Upon completion of the open lot drawing and computer balloting, applicants can check the ballot results immediately on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk) using their application numbers and identity card numbers. In addition, the FEHD will notify the successful applicants by WhatsApp/SMS and email or letter of the designed niche number allocated. Applicants can also visit the FEHD's Hong Kong or Kowloon Cemeteries and Crematoria offices, the Public Niche Allocation Office or call the hotline 2841 9111 to check the ballot results on the same day after the lot drawing and computer balloting.

     A spokesman for the FEHD said, "Following the completion of this annual allocation, the FEHD will launch a new monthly public niche allocation arrangement starting from August 1 to entirely replace the existing annual allocation. Under the new arrangement, in addition to Tsang Tsui Columbarium in Tuen Mun, the FEHD will include three additional columbaria in the monthly niche allocations: Shek Mun Columbarium in Sha Tin, Wo Hop Shek Columbarium Phase VI in Fanling, and Cape Collinson-San Ha Columbarium in Chai Wan, providing a total of not less than 1 600 extendable niches each month."
