According to a previous report by the Voice of China, some citizens of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia reported that the Baotou City Funeral Home is the only funeral home in Baotou City, and they encountered problems such as not being able to bring their own urns when dealing with the aftermath.
The reporter visited the local area for many days and learned that the price of the urn sold by the funeral home in Baotou City was much higher than the market price, and even 10 times the price of the goods from the manufacturer. Several funeral service agencies say they will try to convince families to choose an urn at the funeral home.

The urn costs more than 4,000 yuan.
The report pointed out that since 2014, Baotou City has implemented four basic funeral services for the whole people, regardless of whether Baotou is registered or not, as long as you are cremated in the Baotou City Funeral Home, you will enjoy the reduction and exemption of the cost of body transportation, temporary storage, cremation, and ashes storage. This policy of benefiting the people has become the rhetoric in the mouth of funeral service intermediaries that "funeral homes don't make money, and urns can only be bought there".
