Over the last couple days I’ve seen government posters up promoting this.

Not sure it will catch on, but a nice lifehack related to death practices in Hong Kong is to look for housing in Hong Kong by crematoriums. It is usually a lot cheaper as “traditional” people won’t want to live there.

Interesting, but, are there any practical reasons for it, beyond status and psychology? Specifically, air pollution. Where do the fumes go? Are they negligible, or not?

This kind of superstition are strong in Hong Kong. Best deal is the combo cemetary + unit where someone committed suicide (or near).
