Recently, an article circulating on the Internet touched me deeply. Some netizens posted a complaint about the sea burial** is too expensive, and you can't afford it at all. After reading it, I have something I want to talk to you about.
The article is roughly as follows:
Originally, I planned to be buried at sea, but now I gave up this idea, and yesterday I had a conversation with my colleague, his father was buried at sea last year, and what I never expected was that the sea burial not only had to pay a fee, but also ** was ridiculously expensive, and I had to pay a fee of 12,800 yuan.
A few years ago, I watched a sea burial ceremony, in which relatives mixed flower petals and ashes together and scattered them in the sea one by one, but my colleague said that when his father was buried at sea, the ashes were placed in a sink and then slowly sunk.
Anyway, I didn't want to be charged after I died, so I told my daughter that I would be buried in a tree after a hundred years, and my daughter's mother-in-law had ten acres of land in the countryside, and there was a row of poplar trees at the east end of the land, and when the time came, just bury me under the tree.
The daughter said: "That's too pitiful, when the time comes, I will buy you a cemetery, choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for you, I don't want my daughter to spend money, it's useless, my daughter's generation can burn paper for me, and when it comes to my grandson's generation, no one will care about me, and then the staff will dig up the ashes and throw them into the trash, and the cemetery will be sold to others, or don't spend that unjust money!" ”
You said that in this life, people have to worry about houses and cars when they are alive, and they have to worry about cemeteries and funeral expenses when they die.
In recent years, with the development of the economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the funeral industry has been rising, making more and more people sigh that they "can't afford to live" and "can't afford to die". So why is the funeral ** so high? Actually, there are many reasons.
Take sea burial as an example, it sounds very environmentally friendly and land-saving, but in fact, the ** of sea burial is not low. In some places, the ** buried at sea is even as high as tens of thousands. At the root of it,The main reason is that sea burials require special vessels and equipment, and necessary environmental treatment, which costs money. Moreover, the sea burial market is relatively small and lacks competition.
Let's talk about burial. Burial is a traditional funeral method in China with a long history. But in recent years, the **burial** has also continued**. This is mainly due to the scarcity of land resources and the acceleration of urbanization. The land in the city is getting tighter and tighter, can the cemetery not rise?In addition, funeral service agencies in some places charge and set prices arbitrarily, and the burial ** will naturally go up.
In addition to the first problem, the current situation of the funeral industry is also worrying. Nowadays, there are more and more funeral service agencies, but the quality of service is uneven. In order to make money, some institutions have resorted to all kinds of tricks, charging and pricing arbitrarily, making consumers miserable. This funeral service was originally intended to make people feel at ease and walk decently, but now it has become like this, which is really chilling.
Moreover, the laws and regulations of the funeral industry are not perfect, and there are some gaps and ambiguities. This has led to a great deal of arbitrariness and uncertainty in pricing, services, etc., which has brought a lot of unnecessary distress to consumers.
Of course, not everyone buys the funeral. Some people feel that this funeral ** is too high, it is simply blackmail. They believe that when a person dies, he should be buried in the ground, and there is no need to spend so much unjust money. But the reality is that the ** of the funeral industry has not declined because of consumer dissatisfaction, but has a higher and higher trend.
In fact, I think the problem of the funeral industry is, in the final analysis, a problem of concept. Nowadays, people attach too much importance to material things, and feel that funerals have to spend a lot of money to show respect for the deceased.
But in fact, respect for the deceased does not lie in how much money is spent, but in the sincerity and nostalgia in the heart. If everyone can change their concept and look at the funeral issue rationally, maybe the industry can be healthier and more standardized.
Of course, the problems of the funeral industry cannot be solved overnight. After all, this involves many aspects such as culture, tradition, and law. But I believe that as long as each of us can look at this issue rationally and actively participate in discussions and reforms, one day, we will be able to find a funeral method that respects tradition and conforms to modern society.
Funeral is indeed a part of everyone's life. Whatever you choose, the most important thing is the remembrance and respect we have for our loved ones. Money may be able to buy material things, but after all, it cannot replace the deep nostalgia and endless longing in our hearts.
