Reading guideTo this day, the controversy between burial and cremation is still inconclusive. In rural areas, farmers who support burials make up the vast majority. The reasons why farmers support burial are nothing more than the following reasons: Burial is a funeral custom handed down by ancestors to this day, and traditional culture needs to be inherited; Compared with cremation, burial saves time, effort, and money, and is easier for the deceased to accept; Burial is a better way to show respect for the deceased, and farmers generally believe that burial is more environmentally friendly than cremation. How do laws and regulations stipulate the choice of funeral methods? Article 4 of the current "Regulations on the Administration of Funeral and Burial" clearly stipulates that cremation shall be practiced in areas with dense population, less cultivated land and relatively convenient transportation; In areas where cremation is not available for the time being, burial is allowed. That is to say, from the policy level, burial and cremation are not mandatory "one or the other", and in rural areas where cremation is not in a position to be carried out for the time being, it is allowed to continue to use the traditional form of burial. 
From 2024 onwards, burial and cremation will be one-size-fits-all? It is rumored on the Internet that from 2024, burial and cremation will be one-size-fits-all, is this true or false? Through the above introduction, it is not difficult for us to come to a conclusion, that is, the state does not require "one or the other" for cremation and burial, let alone enforce "cremation" from the policy level. Therefore, this news spread on the Internet is a complete misinterpretation of the policy. Since there is no "one-size-fits-all" for the state, where did this rumor come from? It is understood that the reason for the existence of such a statement is mainly because of one of the reform measures that the state is currently focusing on - the reform of rural funeral customs. Uniformly promote the reform of land-saving ecological burialsIn order to promote the change of customs and abandon the bad customs of traditional funerals, and also to strengthen the protection of rural land resources and the ecological environment, the state has decided to carry out the reform of rural funeral customs nationwide according to local conditions to promote sustainable development. It is understood that the core concept of rural funeral reform at this stage is to advocate land-saving ecological burial, respect for nature and save land resources, and avoid damage to land resources and ecological environment caused by burial. At the same time, through the implementation of land-saving ecological burial, guide the whole society to establish ecological and environmental protection awareness, and lay the foundation for the construction of a beautiful and livable new countryside and rural revitalization. 
Interpretation of Rural Funeral Reform PolicyFrom the specific form, ecological burial pays more attention to the protection of resources and the environment, and at the same time can abandon various traditional funeral habits; Respect for individual choices: After the rise of the funeral form of land-saving ecological burial, the state will not enforce ecological burial, but choose to respect the choices of individuals and families. Based on this, farmers can decide on the form of burial according to local customs and actual needs; Strengthen the supervision of the funeral industry: While promoting the reform of the rural funeral system, the state will also strengthen the guidance and supervision of the funeral industry, including but not limited to funeral services, funeral supplies and land use planning, so as to standardize the market order. 
ConclusionIn general, the land-saving ecological burial reform implemented in various places at this stage will not force farmers to choose between burial and cremation, nor will it carry out funeral system reform on the basis of one-size-fits-all or even against the wishes of farmers. On the contrary, the state will gradually guide more and more farmers to recognize and accept the new funeral methods through the gradual improvement of the system and the increase of publicity and education. Therefore, we farmers do not need to worry too much about this. The author believes that no matter what kind of funeral form, as long as it contributes to environmental protection and no longer wastes too much land resources, it is worth popularizing in more areas. In this process, there is no doubt that the active participation of the vast number of farmers is needed.
