Tombs are high, cemetery resources are getting less green and buried in the direction of reform

Cemetery "can not afford to bury", who's over?

Tombs are high and cemetery resources are decreasing. Some citizens have called for the government to promote the tombs of the Jingshi Cemetery at this stage.

- Reporter survey

Recently, discussions on the price of cemetery continued to be hot. The high price of cemetery has caused many people to lament that the cemetery “can't afford to bury”. The Nanfang Daily reporter investigated during the Ming and Qing Dynasties found that the prices of ordinary cemeteries (including graves, tomb-building fees, and management fees) for some of the operating cemeteries in Guangzhou ranged from 10,000 yuan to 450,000 yuan. Luxurious graveyards It can reach more than 100,000 yuan. Some graveyards have introduced optional projects. The tombstone can be made of precious stone. The location of the grave can be close to the “Fengshui Baodi”. The design of the graveyard can sculpt the artistic shape...

Behind the high tomb price is the contradiction between limited cemetery land resources and traditional funeral customs. Nowadays, urban land is tense, and the aging trend is increasingly serious. Due to the country’s strict examination and approval of the construction of cemetery, the cemetery resources “are scarcely expensive”. Some citizens are worried that with the expansion of urban construction, there will be fewer and fewer cemetery resources in the future. Will the cemetery sell exotic goods and sell goods indiscriminately? Will prices follow the rise? Now, how can the phenomenon of “live in Beijing and burial in Hebei” discussed in the society be solved?

- The "luxury" "not capped" is cheap "less people ask"

The reporter investigated the cemetery prices of some operating cemeteries in Guangzhou. In the survey, the reporter found that most cemetery cemeteries ranged in price from one to twenty thousand to several hundred thousand. For some art tombs, there are cemetery sales personnel who said: "Customers want more expensive, they are not capped!"

The reporter learned from investigations in a cemetery in Huadu District that the ordinary tombs in the cemetery are priced at RMB 45 to 50,000 yuan, and the area is about 2 square meters. Two cinerary urns can be placed. According to the sales staff of the cemetery, in addition to ordinary graves, the cemetery also introduced high-end tombs and luxury cemeteries. After repeated questioning by reporters, sales personnel revealed that the price of your tomb type was between four and half million. This type of cemetery has not only a good feng shui position, but also has a larger area than other cemeteries. There are about 4 square meters, and 4 more can be placed. The cinerary urn, and the stone carving and tombstone carving techniques of the tomb were unusual and high-grade.

Another salesman in the cemetery in Huadu District said that the ordinary graveyards they introduced had several grades of 12,000 yuan, 28,000 yuan and 42,000 yuan. The 1.2 million yuan graves have an area of ​​about 1 square meter and can house 2 caskets. The total number of 10,000 cemetery sites totals more than 100, but only less than 10 have been sold so far. This kind of cheap, simple tomb, relatively simple, not erected tombstone, like a foreign cemetery, covered with a marble slab. "Customers generally do not choose more than 10,000 cemeteries, most of which are selected for more than 28,000 yuan."

In the investigation, the reporter also found that some cemeteries used the “bundled” method to sell cemetery and provide customers with packages, but some cemeteries indicated that only one type of package is available now. A salesman at a cemetery in Panyu said that at present, the cemetery only operates a kind of business, that is, a “package service” priced at RMB 109,800. However, he also stated that the 100,000 yuan fee does not include all expenses. If the customer needs to hold a funeral ceremony, the cemetery will also collect burial fees of 600 yuan for each urn, and the tombstone will be written in more than 4 lines. Correspondingly increase money. If families have burned stone statues and other needs at the time of burial, the fees will also have to be paid.

- Bottleneck existing cemetery resources in Guangzhou for about 10 years or exhausted

Li Bo, who worshipped his ancestors at the Guangzhou Chinese Cemetery, told reporters: “When buying a cemetery, nobody would bargain like a grocery. Funeral is the last time someone spends money with their loved ones. People generally don’t care about how much money they have. According to their own conditions to make choices, this is the psychological reason for the high price of the cemetery."

The reporter learned from the investigation that the current state-level burial reform policy does not encourage ordinary people to use catacomposites to bury ashes, and that governments at all levels impose strict restrictions on the examination and approval of cemetery land.

The reporter learned from relevant parties that the existing cemetery resources in Guangzhou will be depleted in about 10 years according to the current consumption. The government’s cemetery development and construction in Guangzhou is strictly controlled by the government. If there are two more eco-artistic cemeteries in the near future, the city’s cemetery stock resources will be able to support a period of 20 to 20 years.

It is understood that the Galaxy’s cemetery was depleted in the early years of the Galaxy Revolutionary Cemetery in Guangzhou City. Relevant departments have paid attention to this issue and have done a lot of work, but it took 10 years to set the site for the second Galaxy Cemetery. Although most of the cemeteries in Guangzhou have not yet appeared to be scheduled, it is better to spend a day than to cradle.

The "Guangdong Provincial Cemetery Construction Master Plan (2011-2020)" emphasizes that by 2020, the province will form cemetery facilities covering both urban and rural residents, basically satisfying the masses' funeral needs, reducing the proportion of ashes in the ashes, and gradually popularizing the ecological burials and festivals. Ground burial law. It is reported that there are 103 cemeteries approved to be built in Guangdong. According to the policy of Guangdong, by 2020, there will be 42 new operational cemeteries in the province. The area of ​​each newly built operational cemetery shall not exceed 20 hectares.

Some experts told reporters that it is understandable that the national and provincial policies promote green and funeralism. However, in the process of implementation, there are also problems that must be solved. Since the development of cemetery land was strictly restricted, the traditional customs of the “going out of the land” for ordinary people could not be changed for a time. The cemetery is a special commodity. If it is adjusted purely by the market, it may repeat the old road of real estate development. The price of the cemetery will make most people unable to afford it.

- The way out can be used to promote the tomb to the tomb but also to change the old idea of ​​funerary

The effective promotion of the land-to-ground burial law, the promotion of the concept of green funerals, and the encouragement of “ash-lining” and “splashing with the ashes” have become the general direction of China’s funeral reform and the only way to curb cemetery prices.

However, the promotion of green funeral methods is faced with a certain degree of difficulty. Guangzhou City chooses 1,500 or so ashes every year, and ashes are scattered around 500-600 a year. The reporter randomly surveyed 10 citizens at the Guangzhou Crematorium and asked them if they would support the green ecological burial law. The majority of them expressed their support, but not many of them actually implemented it. The registration window for the funeral burial site at the crematorium is also a lot of inquiries and less registration.

The reporter saw in the Guangzhou Chinese Cemetery that, in order to promote green funerals, a “flower burial area” was set up in the cemetery. By now, only a hundred people have chosen this method. Some citizens said: “The Chinese people have the tradition of worshipping mountains. If ashes are thrown into the sea and buried under the trees, where will the children and grandchildren go to pay respects? The implementation of green funerals requires the government to give certain encouragement measures and build some commemorative sites. Adapt to the people's traditional folk customs and improve related management methods."

Some experts believe that the transition period may be quite long before the majority of ordinary people accept the funeral of trees, sea burials and other festivals. Many people still have a need for graveyard burial. Some citizens appealed that in order to prevent the cemetery from "can't afford to live", the government "would have taken a shot when it was taken" to promote economically applicable tombs and limit tombs to regulate the market.
