[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 21st that during the leap month period from the 23rd of this month to the 20th of next month, over 900 cremation reservations for exhumed remains at Haenam Namdo Wide-area Memorial Park have been received.

In preparation for the leap month, the county has been accepting cremation reservations through the Ministry of Health and Welfare's e-Haneul Funeral Information System starting one month in advance, while also conducting in-person and telephone reservations for elderly individuals who cannot use the internet.

As a result, over 1,000 consultations have been conducted, and currently, 908 cremation reservations for exhumed remains have been made. Additionally, post-cremation interment reservations include 88 at the columbarium and 177 at the natural burial site.

Visitors are mostly residents from the southwestern region who can use the service at affordable prices through agreements among three counties: 67% from Haenam, 13% from Wando, 18% from Jindo, and 2% from outside the area.

The county educates visitors to bring remains wrapped in traditional Korean paper (hanji) bundles for eco-friendly cremation, and simultaneous cremation is possible for long-buried married couples' remains upon the bereaved family's request.

During the leap month, Haenam-gun is operating three cremators at maximum capacity to meet cremation demand and is conducting emergency duty to ensure that related procedures proceed comfortably and promptly without any gaps.
