NEW TYPE OF GRAVE SPACES AVAILABLE FOR ALLOCATION
AT CAPE COLLINSON CHINESE PERMANENT CEMETERY
******
A NEW TYPE OF GRAVE SPACES AT THE CAPE COLLINSON CHINESE PERMANENT CEMETERY ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALLOCATION.
THE MOST PROMINENT FEATURE OF THIS NEW TYPE OF GRAVE SPACES IS THAT ITS OWNERSHIP IS NOT RESTRICTED TO A FIXED PERIOD OF TIME BUT INSTEAD CAN BE RENEWED FOR AN INDEFINITE NUMBER OF PERIODS.
SINCE AUGUST LAST YEAR, GRAVE SPACES HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR ALLOCATION FOR AN INITIAL TERM OF 10 YEARS AT
A PREMIUM OF $3,500 EACH, WHICH MAY BE EXTENDED FOR ONE FURTHER AND FINAL TERM OF SIX YEARS. AFTER THAT THE HUMAN REMAINS BURIED WILL REQUIRE TO BE DISINTERRED AND REMOVED.
THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE CHINESE PERMANENT CEMETERIES HAS NOW DECIDED TO INTRODUCE ANOTHER TYPE OF GRAVE SPACES. THESE GRAVE SPACES WILL BE ALLOCATED FOR AN INITIAL TERM OF 10 YEARS AT A PREMIUM OF $5,000 EACH, WHICH MAY BE EXTENDED FOR AN INDEFINITE NUMBER OF TERMS OF UP TO 10 YEARS EACH, AT PREMIUMS WHICH WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE BOARD AT THE TIME OF EXPIRY OF EACH TERM.
IT IS CONSIDERED THAT THIS NEW TYPE OF GRAVE SPACES WILL AFFORD A FAR GREATER DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY WITH REGARD TO THE PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP AS THEY CAN BE RENEWED FOR AN INDEFINITE NUMBER OF TERMS.
THE EXISTING TYPE OF GRAVE SPACES, WHICH ARE ALLOCATED AT A PREMIUM OF $3,500 EACH AND FOR WHICH THE PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP IS RESTRICTED TO A MAXIMUM PERIOD OF 16 YEARS, ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR ALLOCATION.
ENQUIRIES CONCERNING THE ABOVE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE SECRETARY, THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE CHINESE PERMANENT CEMETERIES AT INTERNATIONAL BUILDING, 9TH FLOOR, DES VOEUX ROAD CENTRAL, HONG KONG. (TEL. NO. 5-452758 OR 5-458165).
