Found a follow up to the shortage:
https://std.stheadline.com/realtime/article/1819460Food and Health Bureau immediately reported to the mainland authorities that the coffins were essential supplies for Hong Kong and that they should be given priority. The mainland responded quickly. On Monday and Tuesday (14th and 15th), 180 coffins arrived in Hong Kong by land and sea respectively.
