On the afternoon of April 8, the 30th collective sea burial of cremains, jointly organized by Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau and Civilization Office, was held at the off-sea of Mayu Island, with a total of 1049 copies of cremains dissolved into the sea with fresh petals.

Since the first sea burial of cremains in 1998, the concept of burial at sea is gradually accepted and increasingly supported by the public, with over 80,000 copies of cremains buried at sea through such collective activities. This year a lot of family members from Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Jieyang and other places came to Shantou for the burial.
