I forgot to pay for the ashes due at the funeral home.

The majority of family members should know that friends who have bought cemeteries for relatives and friends know better that we don't own the ownership of buying cemeteries. No matter whether we buy business cemeteries or public welfare cemeteries, we only get the right to use cemeteries.

Since it is the right to use, there is a time limit. At present, China's Civil Affairs Department's Regulations on Funeral Management clearly stipulates that the use period of legal cemeteries in China is 20 years.

Then, since it is the right to use, it is necessary to pay a certain usage fee, or management fee. The civil affairs department has also stipulated the charging standard of management fees: 5% to 10% of the tomb purchase money is charged as management fees every 20 years, which is applicable to all provinces in China.

Cemetery all over the country strictly abides by this regulation. Taking the tomb payment of 654.38+10,000 yuan as an example, if the maximum 10% is calculated, the management cost for 20 years is 654.38+10,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the annual 500 yuan, which is reasonable.

However, there are still many cases where the fees are not renewed on time every year. There are various reasons. Maybe something happened to the family of the deceased, or their relatives emigrated. So we can't help asking, if we can't renew the fee on time, what should we do with the ashes of the deceased?

Just dig it up and throw it away? Of course not. The general process is as follows: first, contact the family of the deceased whose expenses are due. If you can't get in touch within a certain period of time, you will continue to get in touch by publishing newspapers and issuing official website announcements. If family members can't be contacted, they will consider centralized disposal of the body of the deceased, that is, collective burial in a specific area of the cemetery. This period is usually about 3 months to 1 year.

How much does the deceased deposit in the funeral home for one day? Usually, the cost of storing remains in different areas and different levels of funeral homes is different.

Since the funeral home is a funeral service organization, the cost of storing the remains for one day is similar to the handling fee charged when handling marriage certificates and identity cards, generally around 20 to 30 yuan.

Legal basis: Article 22 of the Regulations on Funeral Management (Revised Draft for Comment) The cemetery business unit shall abide by the provisions on the area and service life of funeral land. The area and service life of funeral land shall be stipulated by the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government in accordance with the principle of land conservation.

Article 23 Cemetery business units shall collect burial fees or ashes storage fees according to the standards stipulated by the state, and the measures for the management of fees shall be formulated by the competent price departments of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government in conjunction with the civil affairs departments in accordance with the principles of encouraging the storage of ashes and restricting graves.
