How much is the cemetery?
It is understood that since 1995, cemeteries in Lanzhou have started to develop into gardens. Many cemeteries "cultivate forests by tombs", while selling cemeteries as commodities, while investing in greening cemetery areas. The cemetery environment has improved year by year, and the price of the cemetery has also increased year by year. It is understood that there are currently four kinds of graves in a cemetery near Hongshangen: 9300 yuan, 13800 yuan, 15800 yuan and 39800 yuan, while a cemetery in heping town, Yuzhong County has launched luxury graves ranging from 50,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan.
Visit: the price of the tomb has been rising all the way.
The reporter learned that since 1995, the price of cemeteries in Lanzhou has risen from one or two thousand yuan to one or two thousand yuan, and cemeteries have been artificially divided into three or six grades. In an interview with a cemetery near Hongshangen, the reporter found that the cemetery has developed into a garden and "tree burial" has become popular. Many citizens pay a lot of money to order luxury tombs. In order to cater to this concept of consumption, some cemeteries have introduced characteristic parks, which have increased the area of the cemetery without authorization and "decorated" it with expensive stones. For example, the newly launched tomb with a high price of 39,800 yuan in a cemetery area near Hongshan Root was quickly booked for more than half. Many citizens still hold the psychology of "the ancestors are at ease, and the talents are at ease", so please ask the "experts" to look at the feng shui tomb site. It seems that spending more money is filial piety. A staff member of the Provincial Civil Affairs Department commented: "It is understandable to sacrifice relatives, but we should not be superstitious about feudalism. Filial piety should be emphasized before death, and the state advocates re-raising thin funerals and re-raising thin sacrifices. "
Witness: The luxury cemetery is worth millions.
In a well-known cemetery area in heping town, Yuzhong County, the new grave is built like a terrace. When the reporter came to the top of the mountain by bus, he saw that a luxurious tomb group had begun to take shape, and an unfinished park next to it was full of big tombs. Each tomb covers an area of 65,438+05 square meters, with a monument in the south and stone steps made of granite on the other three sides, about 60 cm high. A sarcophagus made of granite was placed in the center of the cemetery. There are 16 such tombs here. A staff member told reporters that these cemeteries are all empty below, and coffins can be parked, just like an "underground palace". The reporter asked: "How much is this tomb?" "500,000," said the worker. "It's a large area, with excellent materials, and the bottom is empty, which can hold two complete coffins."
The staff member also said: "This is not the most expensive. The previous one is 1 ten thousand yuan! " Looking down his hand, there is a unique tomb not far away-it covers an area of more than 40 square meters and is built high, abrupt and luxurious. A rare blue stone was enclosed in a small yard. In the yard, there are a group of carved white marble tables and benches. In front of the white stone case is a dark sarcophagus, in front of which is a huge stone tablet. According to the construction workers present, the tomb is worth nearly one million yuan. The reporter asked what the dark blue stone was, and the builder said, "It's a' blue diamond' imported from the United States."
Villager: I sell my own land.
On the morning of March 30th, when the reporter interviewed a cemetery in heping town, Yuzhong County, a farmer leaned in and asked, "Do you want to choose a cemetery? My family has land, not far from here, and I can sell it to you cheaply if I want. " By the way, this farmer belongs to Hongtoushan Society, Heping Village, heping town City, Yuzhong County, and his surname is Fire. The reporter asked him: "Is this ok?" The farmer surnamed Huo said, "What's wrong with this? Everyone in the village is selling it. Besides, it's my own land. " Bypassing a hill, he pointed to a stepped mountain on the hillside and said, "That's it, with good feng shui, and my ancestral grave is on it." The reporter asked: "How much is it?" The farmer surnamed Huo said tactfully: "A piece of 3× 3 (9 square meters) land usually costs 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan. You thought it would be 3,000 yuan." The reporter said: "Is this price too expensive?" The farmer surnamed Huo reluctantly said, "We will sell a tomb and give it to the village for 600 yuan. In fact, we can't make much money. " The reporter asked: "We have bought land now. What should we do if someone investigates it in the future?" The farmer surnamed Huo said, "What does it have to do with them if I sell my own land? In addition, we can also let the village open a certificate. "
President: Only charge money, no charge.
On the morning of March 3 1, the reporter visited Shenjiahe Village near a cemetery in heping town, Yuzhong County. On the way, a villager pointed to a slope not far away and told reporters, "That's my home. Look, it's close to the road and has good feng shui. I have sold several coffins. " The reporter looked in the direction he pointed. On a trapezoidal hillside, several tombstones have stood there. The reporter asked, "Did I buy it?" "Of course, if you value this place, you give me money and the land is yours."
Subsequently, the reporter found Su Mou, president of Sujiazhuang Society in Shenjiahe Village, pretending to buy a cemetery. President Su said: "As a small social official, I usually collect the water fee for community irrigation, which is the money for villagers to sell graves." He solemnly said: "This was decided by the village committee of Shenjiahe Village. Every time the villagers sell a coffin, they will receive 800 yuan's money and give it to 200 yuan in the village. The rest of 600 yuan will stay in the society as a provident fund. We all open formal receipts to collect money and stamp the official seal of the village Committee. "
The reporter saw the stub of what he called a "formal receipt" from President Su. On a stub, the column of charging items reads "The tomb occupies two coffins, with the amount of 1600 yuan", and the "special financial seal" of the village committee of Shenjiahe Village, Heping Township, Yuzhong County is stamped on the lower right of the receipt. The reporter wants to ask President Su to help coordinate the price. He wants the reporter to talk to the seller directly. The reporter asked: "Does the village care?" President Su said cheerfully, "As long as I get 800 yuan for each coffin, they can sell it if they want."
Lawyer: It is illegal for villagers to sell land privately.
On this matter, the reporter interviewed lawyer Ding of Lanzhou Tongxin Law Firm. Lawyer Ding said that the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China clearly stipulates that villagers have the right to use or transfer land only within the statutory scope, and no individual may change the nature of land without the approval of the land administration department. It is illegal for villagers to sell contracted barren hills to others for cemetery without authorization, and it is also illegal for villagers to confirm with their official seals. Lanzhou Civil Affairs Bureau's Opinions on Further Strengthening Cemetery Management and Promoting Funeral Reform also stipulates: "No unit, organization, social group or individual may provide convenient conditions such as transportation, cemeteries and graves for the burial of cremated remains for any reason." "It is forbidden for individuals to sell or rent cemeteries and graves in disguised form."
