Detail InformationEdit

Tung Wah Coffin Home is a Coffin Home located upon the hill above Sandy Bay on the Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong.The Tung Wah Coffin Home has had a very long history since 1875, and was first built by Man Mo Temple.
The Coffin Home was originally located in Kennedy Town near a slaughter home. The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals then took over the responsibility of managing the coffin home, and it was rebuilt in 1899 near Sandy Bay on Hong Kong Island. It was then renamed as the Tung Wah Coffin Home.
The Tung Wah Coffin Home started in 1899 from the humble beginnings of a temporary shed, and transformed into the complex buildings that represent some of the best and archetypal Hong Kong architecture through the ages, including Vernacular Architecture, Colonial Architecture, a traditional Chinese Gateway and Pagoda. It comprises various buildings such as ossariums, halls and rooms with diverse architectural style of different periods.
The entrance to the Main Reception Hall is rich in Chinese adomment, with two classical Roman Doric Order pillars standing boldly on two sides. The reception room has a colonial flat roof and a Chinese wall, while other rooms have British blinds. The Old Hall has retained the architectural merits of 1920s Hong Kong. The historic buildings were restored with traditional local knowledge and conservation techniques.
