"Falling leaves return to their roots" is a condensation of thousands of years of Chinese history and culture, and many people who have passed away hope to be buried in their hometowns.
However, with the compactness of land resources and the emancipation of thoughts, new funeral methods such as ashes burial and sea burial of ashes have been born one after another, but what people never expected is that some modes of sea burial have been as high as tens of thousands of yuan.
This is unacceptable to many people, after all, sea burial is to sprinkle ashes into the sea, and the price of such a simple thing is so outrageous, why?
Why are sea burials so expensive?
In the mainland, sea burial is not just a random institution has the right to carry out, but needs a legal agency, at present, the local civil affairs bureau is the only legal institution that can undertake sea burial.
The purpose of this is to control the reasonable burial method of sea burial, in people's minds, sea burial is just scattering ashes directly into the sea, but in many local Xi customs, there are many funeral goods and memorial offerings.
In the process of burying the deceased, many people will come with many non-degradable memorial goods and burial goods, which will cause marine pollution once these products flow into the ocean on a large scale.
In addition, going to sea is not a completely risk-free thing, and if there is no professional team, then the family can easily encounter danger.
What's more, in order to save money, some people generally find ships with great hidden dangers, and once there is a problem, it is even more difficult to ask for help.
Therefore, this is the reason for the control of sea burial, after the control of sea burial, the ashes are placed in a degradable item, and then slowly put into the sea.
Under the immersion of the sea, the jar disappears within a day, ensuring that the ashes are fully integrated into the sea.
If you want to be buried at sea, you need to provide the death certificate of the deceased first, and then go to the funeral home to apply, register, fill in, and when everything is done, you can go home and wait for the notice.
Generally, the civil affairs department will inform the family by text message or announcement whether it has passed, and after that, the payment can be made, and when the funeral time comes, the family can take the funeral boat to the specified place for funeral.
As for the price of sea burial, it is actually related to the scale of sea burial, after all, sea burial requires the planning of a professional funeral team and the leasing of boats, as well as the expenditure of manpower and material resources.
Ordinary sea burials are usually between three thousand and four thousand, but if you want a larger package, there are also seven or eight thousand, and the sea burial door of tens of thousands of yuan is basically the highest scale.
In addition, some people do not want a group burial at sea, they want their relatives to have a more private and personalized way to carry out the burial at sea, so basically the slightly more expensive sea burial ceremony is a chartered service.
The price of the boat charter, the choice of sea area, the type and quantity of offerings can all have an impact on the price.
Of course, this money has nothing to do with the civil affairs department, and in some places, the state has even set aside money to help local residents bury at sea for free.
Therefore, the high cost of sea burial is to put it bluntly, it is spent on the scale of the ships and vehicles to see off, after all, some people from wealthy families want their relatives to look good, and often pay attention to pomp and circumstance.
However, relatively speaking, sea burials are indeed much cheaper than earth burials.
Green burial
With the development of society, the price of land resources continues to rise, which makes the emerging "green funeral" a new direction for the funeral industry.
The so-called "green burial" is actually a general direction, which includes tree burial, wall burial, flower flat burial and other methods, of course, sea burial is also one of them.
However, most of today's funeral methods have shortcomings, such as sea burial, although it plays a role in environmental protection, but it is not conducive to the later tomb sweeping of family members, and the traditional burial method allows people to miss their relatives through the way of worship in front of the tomb.
But sea burial cannot provide this kind of opportunity, after all, the whole sea is the grave, where to find, and the so-called sea burial monument cannot make up for the regret that the family can not pay tribute.
Therefore, although the sea burial method is loud, the actual investigation is an embarrassing scene with some thunder and rain.
A media survey once found that only 10% of respondents could accept this type of funeral.
In addition, there is tree burial, tree burial is one of the main forms of green burial, compared to soil burial, tree burial is more simple and environmentally friendly, and even the preservation time is very long.
It only needs to take the tree as the monument, and then bury the ashes and petals under the tree together, which is most in line with the environmental cycle, and also in line with the people's sense of "entering the soil for peace", the existence time of the tombstone depends on the life of the tree.
Usually, the trees selected for tree burial are trees that can grow quickly and are stout, which greatly reduces the burden of people's funerals, and only needs to choose a piece of land and a suitable tree.
Trees have been a symbol of life since ancient times, and even when they are buried, people will choose to plant a sapling on the grave.
Within a few years, the tree on the grave will grow green and green, as if a person is dead but still exists in this world.
However, there is a disadvantage of tree burial, that is, as the tree grows, the roots of the tree will destroy the object containing the ashes, so that the ashes will completely become nutrients and become a part of the tree.
Changchun once implemented tree burial tombs, but the results were not friendly, it took seven years to sell out, compared with the price of the rising, but the buyers continue to buy the traditional cemetery, it is really a big thing, it seems a little miserable.
In addition to cremation, there is also the existence of ice burial, although the final result is also ashes, but compared with cremation, ice burial is very mild and more environmentally friendly.
To put it bluntly, ice burial is the use of liquid nitrogen at a temperature of nearly 200 degrees below zero, which makes the body extremely fragile, and then crushed in a high-sonic vibration instrument, and then absorbs water to finally become ashes.
Epilogue:
At present, in fact, young people do not care about the way of funeral, after all, people die like lights out, where is not the place to be, but for the elderly, it is difficult to accept this kind of funeral method, they are still more inclined to the traditional "into the ground for peace", buried in their hometown.
