How much does it cost to keep the urn in the funeral home for one year? Will the renewal fee be cleared if it is not due? It is said that unclaimed urns in funeral parlours are buried deeply. Is it true?/You don't say. Regarding the issue of storing ashes in funeral parlours, the author simply answers the following questions according to the relevant policies of storing ashes in funeral parlours.

What does it mean to store ashes in a funeral home?

Ashes storage means that after the cremation of the deceased's remains, the ashes are not buried on the day of cremation, but are temporarily stored in funeral homes, cemeteries or cemeteries.

From the above description, we can find that the urn can be stored in both funeral homes and cemeteries. However, after most of the deceased are cremated, the ashes will be stored in the funeral home. Some funeral homes charge free of charge in the first month (babaoshan funeral home), and charge according to the normal charging standard for ashes storage after one month of temporary storage.

Some funeral homes are not allowed to store foreign urns (urns purchased outside the funeral home), so how to store the urns purchased outside the funeral home? At this time, the function of cemetery or cemetery ashes hall is highlighted. If the funeral home does not allow it, family members can store the ashes in the cemetery or cemetery, which is convenient for taking the ashes when they are buried.

How much does it cost to store ashes in a crematorium for one year?

The cost of storing the urn is charged according to the level of the urn selected by the family members and the number of layers of the storage space. The level of columbarium is usually divided into ordinary columbarium and advanced columbarium. For example, Changping funeral home has ordinary crematorium and high-grade crematorium. In addition to the grade of the columbarium, the factors that affect the cost of ashes storage are the number of cells for ashes storage.

There are usually seven cells in the columbarium. The reason why the seven pagodas were built has a lot to do with Buddhists saving lives instead of building the "Buddha Capital" in the seven pagodas. "Buddha map" means stupa, and the seven-level Buddha map is the seven-level stupa. The cinerary hall is built on seven floors, which has the meaning of Buddhism "Purdue all beings". Of course, the number of layers of the columbarium is not limited to seven, and some will build five or nine-story columbarium buildings according to the limitation of storage space.

After understanding the factors that affect the price of ashes storage, let's take a look at how much ashes storage costs a year. At present, there are 12 funeral homes in Beijing. The storage facilities of different funeral homes are different, and the storage fees charged for urns are also different. For example, babaoshan funeral home 50 yuan/year (the longest preservation period was three years, but now it can only be preserved for one year, and all of them will be taken away after one year), Laoshan crematorium 550 yuan -580 yuan/year, Dong Jiao funeral home 1292 yuan/year, Tongzhou funeral home 1000 yuan/year, etc.

What should I do if the ashes in the funeral home expire?

The storage period of ashes in funeral parlours is generally three years (like Shunyi funeral parlour). After the expiration of three years, family members need to take the ashes away and then buy a cemetery to bury the ashes of the deceased. Some funeral homes have no restrictions on the storage time of ashes, such as Miyun, Fangshan and Dong Jiao funeral homes. After the storage period of ashes expires, family members can keep the urn in the funeral home for a long time by renewing the fee on schedule.

What I mentioned above is the problem of renewal of ashes storage when it expires. Then, if the family doesn't renew the fee after the ashes are deposited, will the funeral home clean up the urn? A friend who once worked in a funeral home replied that if the family members did not renew their fees when the urn expired, the funeral home would contact the family members according to the contact information left by the management when the ashes were stored.

If you can't contact the ashes storage manager or go to the funeral home to renew the fee, the funeral home will dispose of the unclaimed urn: that is, after 2-3 months of publicity, if no family members come to renew the fee, the funeral home will centrally bury the unclaimed urn according to relevant regulations. This not only satisfies the desire of the deceased to rest in peace, but also frees up more space for the newly cremated deceased to store ashes.

How long can crematorium ashes be buried?

Strictly speaking, after the cremation of the deceased, the ashes can be buried on the same day. Influenced by the traditional funeral customs and the purchase of cemeteries, after the cremation of the deceased's remains, the ashes are usually stored in the funeral home for a period of time, and then the ashes burial ceremony is held on the other day after the family members choose the cemetery.

China people usually choose the auspicious day of the zodiac to bury the dead, and generally combine the old yellow calendar with the May 7th, Hundred Days and Anniversary of the dead to determine the burial date. If the deceased dies in winter, the ashes burial day is usually held in the spring of the following year. Others are buried on the second and third anniversaries, depending on the actual situation of their families.
