Who can enter Babaoshan cemetery?

Leading cadres entering Babaoshan must be at or above the county level. However, with the increasing shortage of cemetery area, the number of people is increasing. In April, 1992, with the approval of the Central Organization Department, the cadre standard was upgraded to local bureau level and military sub-district level.

The deceased must go through certain examination and approval procedures when entering the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. Leading cadres at or above the bureau level need a letter of introduction from their unit and provide a copy of the appointment letter. With the approval of the superior, the ashes can be stored here. At the same time, the ashes can be buried in the cemetery, but the cemetery needs to pay more than the ashes hall.

The tombs of cadres at or above the provincial level and revolutionary soldiers at or above the corps level are 18 feet (6 meters) long and 18 feet wide or 24 feet (8 meters) long and 24 feet wide. For those who have made special contributions to the revolution, the size of their graves shall be stipulated separately. Revolutionary soldiers and revolutionary workers may be buried in revolutionary cemeteries upon application for approval because of overwork or death. The cadre level was originally defined as "above the county level and above the revolutionary soldier regiment level"
