What does Living Tomb mean?
A living person’s tomb refers to a person who has already prepared a cemetery for himself or purchased a cemetery for himself in advance while he is still alive.
In ancient times, living tombs were also called "living graves" or "living temples". According to legend, in ancient times, there was a custom that when a person lived to the age of sixty, his family had to bury him alive.
During this process, some people couldn't bear to bury their parents alive, so they built a cemetery with a dome and an opening at the top of the cemetery, and then used this opening to bury their parents alive every day. Send food to the people in the tomb. If no one eats the food delivered to the cemetery one day, then the person in the cemetery has passed away, and the top of the tomb will be sealed. With the passage of time, this kind of cemetery slowly turned into the current living tomb.
Current situation of the living tomb market:
From a national perspective, the purchase of "living tombs" is increasing. "In traditional Feng Shui culture, good Feng Shui requires the right time and place. After all, there are only a few locations that can gather this kind of optimized combination. Such tombs will increase in value and may increase in price, so some people are willing to pay a high price and start early."
"According to the requirements of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the purchase of a cemetery must rely on a corpse cremation certificate. If these certificates are incomplete, the cemetery will not sell the tomb. In addition, in order to ensure the implementation of this system, the Civil Affairs Department also implements an annual inspection system, and the cemetery will be inspected every year The company's sales files will be reviewed, and if violations are found, it will be required to suspend business for rectification, or even revoke its sales qualification for the second year. "If management is standardized, there will be no "living graves." "Living graves" mainly exist in some irregular or illegal cemeteries.
