From what I've heard, the root cause is the influx of population. The population is stressing out every aspect of the city, welfare, property prices, education, healthcare and here we have, graveyards. Maybe someone with more insight can chime in

You can add the language, mandarin vs Cantonese. Same pattern than Tibet and other provinces (basically cultural cleansing).
Since 97, about 1.5m mainland Chinese settled in HK. More than 20% of its current population.
Officially about 150 Chinese à day can migrate there.
