Through the promotion of pre-life planning, FEHD hopes to arouse the public's attention to think about how to face the end of life with respect and love. In 2026, FEHD will continue to launch the "School of Life" series to help the public explore the multiple facets of green burial and life planning through free seminars, visits to the Gardens of Remembrance and in-depth community tours, expositions, promotional booths and online promotional programs. Please refer to the dedicated green burial website for the latest information.
In line with the mission of the "School of Life" initiative, FEHD organizes the "School of Life: Community Tour for Life Education" for the public encouraging exploration of life and death issues in society. Through community tours with expert talks, participants discover the district, learn about the special attractions in the community and reflect on the meanings of life and death. The aim is to promote green burial, raise public awareness and inspire individuals to consider how to face the end of life with respect and love.

To expand the reach of green burial promotion, FEHD launches "Guided Life and Death Exploration Tours for Youth" to deepen life education through hands-on experiences. These tours help youth people understand funeral procedures and explore local green burial practices. By broadening their perspectives on death through this experiential journey, students are encouraged to reflect on the meaning of life and appreciate the joy of living in their experiences.
