#Article First Challenge#The current funeral regulations were issued in 1997 and have been in force for 27 years, and the funeral regulations stipulate that people who have died in densely populated areas "should be cremated", not "must be cremated". However, in the process of actual operation, cremation is mandatory in some areas, and even the deceased old people who have been buried are dug up for cremation, which is very inhumane.
Regulations on the Administration of Funerals
General Provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of Funerals and Funerals
Somewhere in Guizhou, after the death of an old man, he was not cremated as required, and after the burial. The local mayor led more than 100 people to dig up the bodies of the old people for cremation, and this kind of behavior certainly does not meet the requirements of the construction of socialist spiritual civilization and does not conform to the regulations on the management of funerals. Instead of achieving the purpose of saving, the farmers spent more money on cremation and urns.
Funeral management needs to be more humane
The vast rural areas have been following the funeral pattern formed over thousands of years, and burials are practiced after the death of the elderly. In fact, burial is in line with the actual situation in the vast rural areas. One is tradition, and funeral culture is also part of Chinese culture. Another is to save land, worship ancestors in rural areas, generally worship five generations, and then the ancestors of the ancestors' graves, it will slowly become cultivated land again, and there is no problem of wasting arable land.
The burial is in line with the actual situation in the vast rural areas
On the contrary, cremation was practiced, and farmers spent more money for cremation and urns, and even if there were urns, rural people were still Xi to put coffins on the outside of urns, so they did not serve the purpose of saving at all, but wasted money for cremation and urns. Urban residents do not have land, so cremation and storage of ashes in columbariums or cemeteries is in line with the actual situation of urban residents. But there is one point, the cemetery is the real waste of land, and it is difficult to restore this land to agricultural land like in the countryside.
Can the cemetery be turned back into a field?
Article 6 of the Regulations on the Administration of Funerals stipulates that the funeral Xi of ethnic minorities should be respected. That is, ethnic minorities can choose their own funeral methods, but the Han people cannot. This is contrary to the spirit of the law stipulated in the Constitution: "All citizens are equal before the law", and it can also be said that this provision of the funeral management regulations is not consistent with the Constitution, and all citizens enjoy equal rights in accordance with the law and should not be treated differently.
Regulations on the Administration of Funerals
At present, many elderly people are very afraid of cremation, and some elderly people are afraid of being cremated and are scared to cry. It is hoped that the Han people, like the people of ethnic minorities, will enjoy the right to choose their own burial methods, and completely realize the legal spirit of equality before the law.
The old man was afraid of cremation and cried
Strictly speaking, this article of the funeral management regulations is not quite in line with the superior law of the Constitution, which is the fundamental law, and should be amended to truly reflect that everyone is equal before the law. #Jining Headlines##Headlines Life after 70s#
