Lau Kar Leung was respected in life, so yesterday inside and outside the hall were floral arrangements. Known as the "Thief King", Yip Kai Foon also sent one that said, "Dear Mr. Lau Kar Leung, forever honored and respected, Yip Kai Foon". Reportedly, Mary Jean Reimer in order to write her DANGEROUS PERSONS column got in contact with Yip Kai Foon who was in jail. In 2003 he was even a witness at her wedding ceremony.

Over 100 year old Uncle Six, Sir Run Run Shaw (Siu Yat Fu), without any hesitation sent a floral arrangement along with his wife Mona Fong Yat Wa and wrote "Master Kar Leung, Forever Missed". Uncle Six had high regards for Lau Kar Leung and made him a director. His first film was already a big hit.

Among the arrangements Anthony Wong Chau Sun, Chen Kuan-Tai, Eddy Ko Hung and others' joint arrangement caught the most attention. It had a sketching of Lau Kar Leung in a kung fu stance that reportedly came from Wong Chau Sun's hand. However due to his play he was unable to pay his respect personally. Pak Suet Sin also sent one in her name Chan Suk Leung.

Others who sent floral arrangements included Financial Secretary Tsang Chun Wa, Japanese actor Yasuaki Kurata, Henry Cheng Kar-shun, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau Tak Wa, Leon Lai Ming, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and May Law Mei Mei, Jenny Tseng (Yn Nei), Mr. and Mrs. Kent Cheng Juk Si, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Yeung Sau Sing and Gillian Chung Yun Tung.
