Soul Comfort Shelter, founded in 2024, assisted the family of a Wang Fuk Court fire victim with burial arrangements at Wo Hop Shek Cemetery.
On a drizzly, windy morning in June, a family gathered at Wo Hop Shek Cemetery in northern Hong Kong to bid farewell to a man surnamed Hung.
The man in his forties was among the 168 victims of last November’s Wang Fuk Court fire, which also displaced nearly 5,000 residents.
His 60-year-old mother, surnamed Yeung, said he passed in the blaze and she did not want his body to go through fire again, leading the family to choose burial.
Only Soul Comfort Shelter was willing to help arrange the burial. “That is the best we can do for him,” she said.
