High-rise structures for ashes of Hong Kong's dead

Owing to a shortage of handy spots to store the ashes of cremated people, Hong Kong is considering high-rise mourning and remembrance structures for this purpose.

In order to ensure that people have a proper resting place when they die, officials say they are trying to find the most efficient solution.
One option being considered is high-rise columbaria. There are no details yet of how high these might be or where they will be built but time is running out.
