In order to save cultivated land resources and avoid "the dead and the living fighting for land", the state has implemented funeral reform in rural areas for many years, changing burials to cremation, and resolving the occupation of cultivated land by burials.
However, in the process of funeral reform, there are often some unsatisfactory places, especially the problem of funeral parlors charging fees is very prominent, which increases the financial burden of the deceased's family.
According to media reports, a city funeral home recently sold urns to the families of the deceased who came to be cremated, and the price far exceeded the market price, and some even increased the price by more than 10 times.
According to the report, a city funeral parlor strictly prohibits the family of the deceased from bringing their own urns, so the urns costing hundreds of yuan are sold to the families of the deceased at a price of thousands of yuan and tens of thousands of yuan.
According to reports, the family members of the deceased who came to be cremated reported that the funeral home staff held the collection scanner in their hands and sold them traditional funeral products, 180 yuan for a pair of golden boys and girls, 230 yuan for four aluminum foil ingots, and 100 yuan for a piece of urn with gold that is, a cover cloth, a total of 610 yuan, in addition, for the ash picking furnace reflected by netizens, a service fee of 150 yuan needs to be added.
Many netizens said that these expenses must be paid by the families of the deceased who come to be cremated, and they are not voluntary by the families, but forcible.
In a funeral home in a certain place, for the deceased who come to cremation, in addition to the normal service charges, the key positions of cremation such as plastic surgery, photography, parking room, furnace front worker, etc., must be given red envelopes, otherwise the family members who have too few red envelopes or do not give red envelopes will not be satisfactory for plastic surgery and photography, and the parking room will be sorted backward, the waiting time will be too long, or the ashes will be picked up at will.
Some netizens in Hubei said that when his father passed away, he sent the old man to the crematorium, cremated and bought an urn, and took a fancy to a price of 1200 yuan, at that time he had a father, who contracted the business of mobile stage performances in the funeral home, and was very familiar with the funeral home staff, and said hello to others, and the price of the urn dropped directly to 600 yuan, it seems that the profit of the urn is indeed too high.
Some netizens said that the crematorium in their county, various service items, and charging standards are divided into three, six, nine, etc., all of which are very different, and the charging standards are very high, and the deceased from the countryside have to pay a minimum of 15,000 yuan for all cremation expenses, and only then will they know what it means to really "can't afford to die"!
Some netizens said that a few days ago, after Qingming, entrusted by relatives, I went to the local cemetery sales office to see the cemetery, under normal circumstances, the ordinary cemetery is 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a square meter, and the better one needs more than 200,000 yuan a square meter, no wonder some people buy a house to put ashes.
Some netizens said that the old man in the family passed away, and the village urged to send the crematorium, and all the costs of a cremation were as little as 10,000 yuan, and as much as 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
According to the feedback of netizens, it can be seen that there is a very serious phenomenon of arbitrary charges in crematoriums, funeral homes, cemeteries, etc., which is not groundless, but an objective reality.
A netizen in Anhui said, I really don't know what's wrong with this world? It's really sad, the current schools, hospitals, and crematoriums charge very high, so that rural people can't afford to be born, sick, or die, it's really not a lie!
A friend in Hunan said that at present, one is a school, one is a hospital, and the other is a funeral home, which are really three mountains, think about people's lives, and are crushed to death by these three mountains, so that rural people are breathless, it is really sad, no wonder netizens are shouting: can't afford to live, can't afford to die, can't afford to die.
