Providing Services Such as Online Ancestral Rites and Advance Reservation System

Changwon Municipal Columbarium.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City, Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 26th that the municipal columbarium will be closed during the Lunar New Year holiday period.

This measure aims to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the region by encouraging visitors to refrain from or stagger their visits to ancestral graves during the Lunar New Year holiday.

The city will provide online ancestral memorial services and advance visit reservation services for five weeks before and after the Lunar New Year holiday.

Advance reservations can be made through the application banner installed on the Changwon Facilities Corporation website or by phone, and visits can be made after reserving the date and time.

The columbarium visitation period through advance reservation is from February 1 to 21.

Due to the ban on private gatherings of five or more people, the number of visitors allowed per enshrinement is limited to four or fewer.

Visiting hours are from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with visits limited to within 20 minutes.

The ‘online ancestral memorial’ service can be applied for through the e-Haneul Funeral Information System. Users can search for the deceased’s name, select photos of the enshrinement (such as the columbarium box), and use functions such as setting up a memorial table, offering flowers, and writing memorial messages.

The city plans to provide various guidance to citizens through the facility’s website and other channels to implement the advance reservation system and online ancestral memorial services.
