Funeral industry needs a home, too
In recent years, there have been more and more protests from Hung Hom residents, concerning the area's flourishing funeral industry. There are already many shops related to this industry in Hung Hom, like coffin shops. Residents think that this is unfair.
While I understand the funeral industry may cause mental discomfort to some, we must ask ourselves, who can be free from death? The answer is obvious. Therefore, it is necessary for funeral parlours and other funeral-related shops to provide services for the convenience of the people.
The businesses all try to reduce any disturbance to residents, so why can't the residents accept their existence?
The funeral industry is just like other business. I don't understand why people think it is wrong.
