Case Details
The deceased was a PhD from England, he lived in Hong Kong since the 2nd World War. He loved Hong Kong so he had chosen to live in Hong Kong for his whole life, and he was working for the education department in Hong Kong. He was a famous educator, he told his family that he didn't want to have a fancy funeral, he only wanted a simple memorial. So after cremation, we helped the family to arrange a memorial in a Catholic church, and people came to share their memories with the deceased. The family expected to have 500 people in the memorial, so we arranged 12 staffs to assist the whole ceremony and help with everything in the chapel. Later we sent 6 shuttle buses to pick family and friends up from church to restaurant.
