In recent years, the government has actively promoted green burials, encouraging citizens to handle their ancestors' ashes in more environmentally friendly and sustainable ways, including scattering in gardens of remembrance and at sea. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department states that green burials can help save land resources needed for constructing columbaria in the long run. While the number of green burials has increased over the past decade, traditional beliefs still influence their prevalence, preventing them from becoming widespread. Funeral industry representatives emphasize the importance of understanding and preparing both pre- and post-mortem plans to increase the adoption of green burials, also urging citizens to plan their final affairs in advance.
