As a representative of the people, of course, we must speak from the perspective of the people and solve the people's "urgent, difficult, and longing" affairs. Today, I saw in Zi** that a representative suggested: vigorously reduce funeral expenses, such as: cemetery use fees, cremation fees, ashes storage fees, urn fees, and so on.
The delegate suggested that all funeral expenses should be reduced, and that they should be free of charge, in short, funeral expenses should be reduced. This is undoubtedly an aspect of people's livelihood, not only to care for the deceased, but also to understand or help the living.
As everyone knows, making money from the dead is a profiteering industry, and on the streets of Baotou, funeral service shops are everywhere. **The funeral home is no exception, not only the use fee of the mourning hall, the cost of wreath paper money consumables, but also the charge of seven, seven, eight or eight is not cheap, especially the urn, as little as a few thousand or more than tens of thousands! Because it is a solitary business, the family is dominant, and no matter how expensive it is, it has to endure the pain of love.
At the end of last year, the old father passed away in Baotou, parked in the funeral home for two days, and spent two or three thousand yuan on various expenses, and bought a mid-range one for the urn, and spent 2,900 yuan! Coupled with the three-day cost of hiring a big, more than 20,000 yuan was gone before I knew it.
The living need "dignity" and the dead need "serenity". When people leave, they must go all the way easily, and the burden on the deceased can no longer be increased, and the fees of funeral homes need to be reformed. What should be reduced should be reduced and what should be exempted should be exempted, this is the expectation of the people, and it is also an urgent and difficult expectation.
Applaud the delegate's suggestion!
