After the rural promotion of funeral reform, what are the advantages and disadvantages for the country and the people?
Honestly, earth burial is the majority of our national funeral customs, thousands of years of traditional habits why insist on changing? Although the dead and the living compete for land this is real time, but the vast majority of rural areas do not have cremation ashes after the conditions, most of the cremation is still buried in their own fields, adding to the burden of the people for nothing. Or let nature take its course, don't go against the people's will and forced. The first few years, Henan Zhoukou is a good example.
There is no benefit, cremation increases the cost of a lot of not to mention, after the burial of steel and concrete will not decay on the environmental protection of little benefit, burial after a period of time and the land of nature as one, which is conducive to natural environmental protection. Thousands of years of burial in addition to the general public outside of the emperor did not cause any environmental problems. After a few decades of burial basically melted into the land, I personally think it is better to be buried in the ground, good for the country, good for the people, good for the environment!
My hometown started to implement cremation from the beginning of this year. The first to start with party members and public officials and their families. The general public from October 1 this year began. It went well (nowadays people's minds are focused on how to earn money to live and live better. Most of the other things, especially the policy matters, are obeyed, although they resist in their hearts. (There is a saying that the arm cannot twist the leg). But in terms of cultural traditions and environmental philosophy, I think this reform still has more disadvantages than advantages. Because:
First, the increase in costs. Cremation fees, transportation fees, and cremation plants can choose some services such as plastic surgery fees, valedictory hall rental fees, props use fees. These were not available before the reform.
Second, the fear of heart. Some of the older people from the heart of the cremation of the elderly still have a sense of fear. I remember that in the past few years, we had a few years of cremation there, and some old people were afraid of being burned after death, and some of them ended their lives before the cremation policy was implemented.
Third, from the environmental point of view, cremation is not good for the environment. Cremation requires the addition of a crematorium. The cremation to burn oil, the emission of waste smoke. Cremation to transport the body increases the demand for motor vehicles. All these are polluting the environment directly or indirectly. Direct earth burials have none of these. Some people say that building a grave for earth burial is a land grab between the dead and the living. Let's think about it, most people nowadays have only one child and most of their children have moved to the cities. No son to the grave to add soil less, no children even more no one to the grave to add soil, even if there is a son, return to their hometowns are not many times, rural graves will not take many years to naturally flatten. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
Fourth, the burial tradition has contributed to the traditional culture and the study of history.
Fourth, the burial tradition has contributed to the traditional culture and the study of history by the descendants. Now we study history through excavated artifacts, surviving documents and existing monuments, and we have burned down the way to study this history through excavated objects.
Fifth, the burial reform can increase employment and stimulate the economy of the funeral market.
In summary, the pros and cons of rural funeral reform is still more disadvantages than advantages, so it is a failure of the reform.
When I was a child, I didn't need to be cremated, and then I was allowed to be cremated. Our local people are particularly disgusted, and then changed the policy to let the burial, folks really happy, and now let the cremation, and are disgusted, so it seems that the future will be changed, so we have to live well, and so let the burial and then die
did not see any advantages
buried deep is the best return to environmental protection, a few years of the best protection of the folklore of the dry years. Both respect for the dead, but also to protect the environment! But against the big manipulation!
It can be said that the pain was added to the pain, and there were a lot of complaints! People treat their loved ones emotionally different: some people can be burned as garbage, but too part of the people can not do, funeral rites is originally a reflection of filial piety, forced to let a person end hastily, which is against the religious beliefs of others! So it is better to respect the customs of each place, the government should not interfere too much with the folklore!
Thank you: we also started funeral reform here. That is to say, the cost of transporting the remains (must rent a special car, their families can not be transported), environmental protection bags, paper coffins, funeral parlor out of a variety of funeral goods, urns, rest (wait for) the room and other costs a few thousand dollars (urns are the cheapest yo). Saving a wooden coffin, the good can only be firewood. After cremation, the urn is brought back by the family, home mourning rituals for three or five days, and then the urn will be carried to the ancestral tomb for burial. This is how the funeral is handled, and they do not think about the difference from the original. It costs a few more pennies than the original, but modern people have more money, so it's no big deal. Anyway, it's my turn to handle the aftermath in this way, just let nature take its course. The first thing I want to do is to get rid of all the problems that I've had.
