Comprehensive Measures Prepared to Welcome Visitors for Memorial Ceremony

Changwon Facilities Corporation in Gyeongnam has prepared a comprehensive plan to ensure the safety and convenience of visitors paying respects at municipal funeral facilities such as Changwon Sangbok Park and Masan Yeongsaengwon during the Chuseok holiday period.

The corporation expects an average of about 35,000 visitors per day and a total of approximately 210,000 visitors during this Chuseok holiday period.

Accordingly, they will operate a support situation room for visitors and cooperate with the police to maintain traffic order, implementing measures to smoothly welcome visitors.

The enshrinement facilities Sangbok Park Columbarium, Masan Yeongsaengwon, and Jinhae Cheonjawon will be open for visits from September 28 to October 3 during the holiday period, with extended hours from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. However, the crematorium will be closed on Chuseok day, September 29.

To prevent crowd-related accidents among visitors at the columbarium, the corporation plans to separate entry and exit routes and encourage staggered admissions.

In particular, due to the increasing trend of COVID-19 cases, individual memorial rites and bringing in food are prohibited; instead, an outdoor communal memorial altar will be set up to provide opportunities for remembrance.

Director Kim Jonghae urged, “We will do our best to thoroughly implement visitor welcome measures during the Chuseok holiday so that visitors can safely use the funeral facilities.”
