The Board of Management of the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries
The Board of Management of the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries (BMCPC) (Chinese: 華人永遠墳場管理委員會), established in 1913, is a statutory body of Hong Kong under the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries Ordinance (Cap. 1112) enacted in 1964. It manages four Chinese permanent cemeteries in the territory.[1]
The term 'Permanent' refers to the cemetery site, not the graves.[2]

- Aberdeen Chinese Permanent Cemetery
- Cape Collinson Chinese Permanent Cemetery
- Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery
- Tsuen Wan Chinese Permanent Cemetery
