Changwon Facilities Corporation in South Gyeongsang Province has established special measures to welcome visitors during the Chuseok holiday period, aiming to ensure the safety and convenience of those paying respects at municipal funeral facilities such as Changwon Sangbok Park and Masan Eternal Life Center.

The corporation expects that, due to the longer Chuseok holiday this year, approximately 170,000 visitors will come to pay their respects-an increase of about 10% compared to the previous Lunar New Year holiday.

Accordingly, the corporation will operate a visitor support situation room from October 3 to 7, and, in cooperation with the police, will implement measures to maintain traffic order and ensure a smooth experience for visitors.

The enshrinement facilities-Sangbok Park Enshrinement Hall, Masan Eternal Life Center, and Jinhae Cheonja Center-will extend their operating hours by two hours during the holiday, opening from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and will set up and operate outdoor joint ritual altars. However, the crematoriums at Sangbok Park and Masan will not operate on Chuseok Day, October 6.

In particular, the corporation will provide additional convenience for visitors by establishing a temporary parking lot near Sangbok Park, separate from the temporary city bus routes operated by Changwon City, and running two 25-seat shuttle buses circulating around Sangbok Park.

Lee Kyungkyun, Acting President, emphasized, "We ask that every effort be made to implement thorough measures for welcoming visitors during the Chuseok holiday so that everyone can use the funeral facilities safely."
