Gyeongju City's comprehensive funeral park, "Gyeongju Sky Maru," will begin special operations in observance of Cheongmyeong and Hansik.

This special operation is a measure to accommodate the increased demand for ancestral grave maintenance and exhumation services.

Under normal circumstances, Gyeongju Sky Maru conducts up to four exhumed remains cremations per day during the seventh session (2 p.m. to 4 p.m.), with seven sessions available each day.

During the special operation period, the sixth session (1 p.m. to 3 p.m.) will be adjusted to accommodate one general cremation and two exhumed remains cremations, while the eighth session (3 p.m. to 4 p.m.) will add four more exhumed remains cremation slots.

Additionally, both the sixth and eighth sessions will be limited to users residing within Gyeongju City.

Reservations for the additional exhumed remains cremation slots during the special operation period can be made through the e-Sky Funeral Information System starting at 8:30 a.m. on March 20.

When applying for cremation, applicants must bring the original exhumation report certificate and a valid identification card.

Son Youngju, Head of the Sky Maru Management Office, stated, "During the special operation period for Cheongmyeong and Hansik, we will do our best to enhance the convenience of bereaved families and visitors and to provide high-quality funeral services."
