Decide Your Own Afterlife! A Guide to Municipalities Offering 'Advance Environmental Burial' and How to Apply

You can control the pace of your mobile game, but have you ever thought about taking charge of the final steps of your life? In the past, elders often avoided discussing end-of-life matters, but now more and more municipalities are promoting 'advance environmental burial preferences.' Planning your own tree burial, flower burial, or sea burial while you're alive not only respects your personal wishes to return to nature but also lightens the decision-making burden for your family! Currently, 5 municipalities across Taiwan offer online or in-person registration: Taipei City: You can apply through the 'Taipei City Citizen Service Platform' or in person at places like the Huai'ai Hall. New Taipei City: Offers a 'Post-Life Care Plan' supporting options like tree burial, flower burial, and sea burial. Taoyuan City: Citizens can apply for tree burial and sea burial through the online system or in person. Taichung City: Has launched the 'Life's Perfect Wish Card,' which can be registered online or processed at major funeral homes. Kaohsiung City: Has established an 'Online Advance Environmental Burial Preference Registration Platform,' and in-person applications are also available. 💡 Reminder: You must sign in person, applications are free, and you can modify or withdraw your wishes at any time! Communicating your wishes in advance is also a gentle act of kindness towards your family.
