Memorial Diamond vs Traditional Burial, Niche & Scattering in Hong Kong
Many Hong Kong families face limited cemetery space, high niche costs, and the desire for a more personal way to remember a loved one. Here’s a clear comparison of the main options.
Comparison Table
| Option | What it involves | Permanence | Space needed | Typical cost range | Can you keep it with you? |
|---|
| Traditional burial | Full burial in a cemetery | Permanent (but plots are scarce) | Large plot | Very high | No |
| Columbaria niche | Urn placed in a niche | Long-term but limited lease in many cases | Small niche | High (and rising) | No |
| Scattering at sea or garden of remembrance | Ashes scattered | Not permanent | None | Low to medium | No |
| Memorial Diamond (Algordanza) | Ashes turned into a real diamond | Permanent family heirloom | None – it is portable | From HKD 26,330 | Yes – you can wear or keep it anywhere |

- Creates a tangible, beautiful object that can be worn or displayed at home
- Allows the whole family to share the memory across generations
- Respects Chinese values of remembrance while offering a modern alternative
- You only need 500 grams of ashes — remaining ashes can still be scattered if desired
