　　[User Sonia] cremation, burial reforms how to divide? What is the point?

　　[Dou Yupei] we are in a society that some people mentioning interment reform is simple to understand the cremation, in fact, this understanding is incomplete. Divide the cremation and burial reform zones based on 1997, the State Council issued regulations on funeral and interment control, divided based on the principle of population, land and transport conditions, in a densely populated, less arable land and convenient area for cremation. In areas that do not meet the three conditions can also implement burial. Cremation, funeral reform task is promoting cremation, and deposit of ashes after cremation or in accordance with the provisions of the area to build the cemetery headstones. In this regard, the Ministry of Civil Affairs had informed the requirements, shall not exceed one square meters. In burial reform, mainly govern buried mass graves, to select some barren land in barren hills, establish public cemetery to bury the remains of local people, while advocating buried without leaving any graves. But whether cremation or burial, must change, advocating civilized and frugal funerals new fashions so you can fully understand the party and reform of funeral and interment of the State policy, and will not easily understand a single cremation instead of burial reform, can not engage in sweeping, it is also inconsistent with the actual situation.

民政部：殡葬改革不等同火葬 部分地区仍可土葬|殡葬改革|火葬|土葬_新闻资讯

　　今日10时，民政部副部长窦玉沛接受中国政府网专访，就“落实两办《意见》 推动殡葬改革”与网民在线交流。

　　[网友sonia]火葬区、土葬改革区如何划分？意义何在？

　　[窦玉沛]我们现在社会上有些人一提殡葬改革就单纯理解成了火葬，实际上这个理解是不全面的。划分火葬区和土葬改革区是根据1997年国务院发布的殡葬管理条例，划分的原则依据人口、土地和交通状况，在人口稠密、耕地较少、交通便利的地区实行火葬。在不具备这三样条件的地区还可以实行土葬。在火葬区，殡葬改革的任务确实要推行火葬，同时火葬后一般骨灰寄存或者按照规定的面积来建设墓地墓碑。这方面，民政部曾经通知要求，不得超过一平方米占地。在土葬改革区，主要是治理乱埋乱葬，要选择一些荒山瘠地，建立公益性的公墓来埋葬当地群众的遗体，同时提倡深埋不留坟头。但是不论是火葬区还是土葬区，都要移风易俗，倡导文明节俭办丧事的新风尚，这样才能全面地理解党和国家殡葬改革的方针，不至于简单地理解用单一的火化来代替殡葬改革，不能搞一刀切，这样也不符合各地的实际情况。
