Chaplain Corps gathers for Flags In to honor the fallen on Chaplains Hill at Arlington National Cemetery, May 22, 2025.

What’s planned for Memorial Day weekend, and how can the public take part in honoring those who gave their lives?

Officials said applications for more than 16,000 new niches will open on Monday, including spaces at the newly-constructed Shek Mun Columbarium in Sha Tin, which is set to begin operations this year.

During the festival, families visit the graves or columbarium niches of their ancestors, and make offerings of food such as roasted meat and fruit, along with placing incense and paper tributes.

More than 16,000 new extendable niches at three columbaria in Fanling, Eastern District and Sha Tin will open for applications from May 19, the Food & Environmental Hygiene Department announced today.
