Yat Pit Pavilion in Kennedy Town

The Tung Wah Hospital operated communal graveyards and cemeteries so that unclaimed remains or victims of major disasters could be buried. In the early 20th century, Tung Wah established "farewell pavilions", such as the Yat Pit Pavilion in Kennedy Town, the Wing Pit Pavilion in Pokfulam, the Chien Lee Pavilion in Ho Man Tin and the Sik Pit Pavilion in So Kon Po, to provide a venue for the public to bid a last farewell to their deceased loved ones. This is a photograph of the Yat Pit Pavilion in Kennedy Town.
