Tung Wah Coffin Home

Tung Wah Coffin Home (Chinese: 東華義莊) 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.

Famous quotes containing the words coffin and/or home:

    I would say it was the coffin of a midget
    Or a square baby
    Were there not such a din in it.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.
