Tung Wah Coffin Home

Grading: Declared Monument

The Tung Wah Coffin Home was built in 1899 and covers an area of about 6,050 square metres. It consists of multiple buildings constructed in different periods. A large-scale restoration project was launched in 2003 and it won successive heritage conservation awards from the Hong Kong Antiquities and Monuments Office and UNESCO in 2005. The documents of the coffin home, which are preserved by the TWGHs, constitute a precious archive recording the bone repatriation services provided by Tung Wah to Chinese people who passed away in Hong Kong or abroad in the last century. These documents provide important information that supports research and understanding of Hong Kong's role within a global Chinese philanthropic network. In 2020, it was declared a monument.
