Does the burial tomb occupy a large area of cultivated land?

According to the administrative regulations of the state, the land for funeral and interment cannot occupy part of the land, and it is forbidden to build graves on forest land and cultivated land, some cultural relics protection areas and water source protection areas, because graves affect traffic facilities.

Although the cemetery does not occupy as much land as the house, it still occupies a certain amount of national land. Since it is state-owned land, it is state-owned and will definitely be recovered within the time limit. So it is right to set the service life. If you don't set the service life, many state-owned land may be occupied by private individuals, and you can't get it back if you want!

The service life of a cemetery is related to the nature and service life of the land, generally 50 or 70 years. There is a saying that the service life of the cemetery is 20 years after purchase. In fact, this 20-year period does not refer to the service life of the cemetery, but refers to the 20-year payment period of the tomb protection fee.

According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, when signing the cemetery use agreement, the tomb buyer must confirm the rights and obligations of both parties, clearly stipulate the payment period, price and respective responsibilities of the tomb protection fee, and the other party has the right to dispose of it according to the agreement.

The establishment of cemeteries should choose barren hills and wasteland, and should not occupy cultivated land, and should not be built in scenic spots, reservoirs and dams, lakes and rivers, or on both sides of railways and highways.

How to deal with the legal blank of the expiration of the service life of the cemetery by the relevant state departments makes people face many puzzles after the expiration of the cemetery. Therefore, it is suggested that relevant departments issue relevant specific implementation plans as soon as possible, so that people can find practical operation plans to deal with related follow-up problems after the expiration of the service life of cemeteries.

In addition, strongly encouraging joint burial is also a good way to solve this problem. The government has no hard and fast rules on how many people can be accommodated in a grave. In fact, joint burial can save land to a great extent, and can also greatly reduce the follow-up expenses after the expiration of the service life of the cemetery. The adoption of new tree burial and sea burial can also greatly save land and avoid the follow-up problems faced by traditional burial after the expiration of the use period of cemetery.
