How to choose a cemetery

The choice of cemetery should consider three factors: geographical location, architectural style and tomb type of cemetery. The details are as follows:

1, geographical location

Geographical location is a point of great concern to us. First of all, consider the convenience of travel. If the road is too far to pass, you can choose to live in the suburbs of your permanent residence, which will be more convenient when you need to sweep. In addition, the geographical location of the cemetery also includes the orientation of the cemetery and so on, which should also be included in our choice and consideration.

2. Architectural style

Now the architectural styles of cemeteries are more diverse, with different landscapes and different architectural styles. There are mountains, water, garden style, European style, romantic and gorgeous style and elegant style. When we choose, we can read more reference materials and choose a cemetery with beautiful environment and suitable style. Of course, we can also consider the preferences of the deceased.

3. Grave style of cemetery

Finally, we should choose the style of the cemetery grave. There are single-point, double-point and three-point tombs in the cemetery. One point is used for single burial, two points for double burial and three points for family burial. The price of different tombs is naturally different, and users can choose according to actual needs.

Characteristics of cemetery

1, commemorative

The uniqueness of the cemetery lies in the memory of the dead, which comes from people's funeral behavior. It not only expresses the memory and respect for the deceased, but also reflects the care for the living. When choosing the location of modern cemetery, we should choose a special environment that is relatively quiet and different from other urban spaces.

2. Geographical nature

In different areas, tombs will be limited by the local environment and living environment, which will change and form new forms of existence. Taking Beijing as an example, when designing the cemetery layout, we can tap its profound history and culture, make use of rich natural landscape and context resources, and match the location of the cemetery with regional characteristics, which is in line with the funeral customs of Beijing people.

3. Cultural nature

Funeral culture embodied in cemetery planning is an important part of ancient civilization in China. The existing state of the cemetery reflects the national cultural characteristics of its time and space and region. At the same time, the way the cemetery exists is bound to maintain a certain degree of relevance with the past era, thus showing historical continuity.
