Expansion of Cremation Facilities at Incheon Family Park... Priority Reservation System for Incheon Citizens

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City announced on the 13th that it will temporarily expand the operation of the crematorium at Incheon Family Park in response to the recent increase in mortality rates among the elderly.

To address the insufficient cremation demand, the city increased the number of cremation sessions for Incheon citizens from the existing 8 to 9, allowing up to 9 additional cremations.

Additionally, the priority reservation system (13th session), which was previously implemented for residents of neighboring areas such as Bucheon and Gimpo, has been changed to target Incheon citizens starting last June, reflecting the decreasing usage trend due to the establishment of Hwaseong Metropolitan Crematorium.

Along with this, the city plans to operate 10 sessions temporarily by adding 3 to 4 additional sessions for pre-cremation of COVID-19 deceased and additional reservations from Incheon citizens.

An Incheon city official stated, "We have decided to operate the cremation facilities flexibly to meet the increasing cremation demand and minimize inconvenience to citizens."
