New funeral regulations in Inner Mongolia

According to the regulations of Inner Mongolia, from 202 1 to 10, all newly-built tombs adopt "ashes are placed and buried separately", and traditional burial is not allowed. At the same time, for the traditional burial graves that have been built, it is necessary to carry out compliance transformation and take measures such as environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction.

According to the Notice of the Department of Ecology and Environment of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Department of Culture and Tourism of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Promoting the Green, Energy-saving and Environmental Protection Construction of cemeteries in the whole region, since 202 1, 10, new regulations on the management of burial have been implemented in Inner Mongolia. The specific requirements are as follows: 1. The new tomb adopts the way of "placing ashes and burying them separately", and traditional burial is not allowed; Second, traditional burial graves must be transformed into compliant graves, and measures such as green environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction should be taken to ensure compliance with relevant environmental protection standards; 3. It is strictly forbidden to build cemeteries in scenic spots, key ecological function areas, sewage treatment areas and urban construction restricted areas, and it is restricted to build cemeteries and cemeteries within the urban planning control line. The implementation of the new regulations aims to promote the greening, energy saving and environmental protection of cemeteries, protect the ecological environment and improve the efficiency of resource utilization. In addition, it will help to optimize the land use structure and release more sustainable land resources.

Why should Inner Mongolia carry out new regulations on the management of burial? The main purpose of implementing the new regulations on funeral management in Inner Mongolia is to protect the ecological environment, save resources and optimize the land use structure. Traditional burial methods occupy a lot of land resources, and there are problems such as land pollution and ecological destruction. Therefore, adopting the way of "separating ashes and burying ashes separately" can save land resources to the maximum extent and reduce the impact of cemeteries on the ecological environment.

The new funeral management regulations in Inner Mongolia aim at protecting the ecological environment, saving resources and optimizing the land use structure. For the traditional burial tombs that have been built, it is necessary to transform them to meet the environmental protection standards. Popularizing land-saving, water-saving and energy-saving technical means and management measures is the trend of the industry and the requirement of the times.
