香港宠物殡葬服务提供商正呼吁进行监管改革，允许将宠物骨灰与主人的骨灰放置在同一个灵位中。
隶属于圣安社（Sage LaGreen Funeral Services）的Petmento自去年起一直敦促政府放宽对灵灰安置所和墓地的相关规定。该公司报告称，越来越多的人希望将宠物的遗骸与家人放在一起。Petmento联合创始人兼董事潘永恒（Wing Pun Hong-Wing）指出，目前许多商场已欢迎宠物进入，未来宠物也将获准进入餐厅。他表示，尽管社会观念发生了转变，但人类的灵位仍拒绝接收这些动物。潘永恒强调，许多年轻一代将宠物视为唯一的家人。他补充说，目前向墓地提出的相关请求大多被直接拒绝，且未给出任何解释。
