Notice of Tangshan Civil Affairs Bureau on the Sacrificial Sweeping Work in Tomb-Sweeping Day in 2022

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival for China people to pay homage to the dead and remember their old friends. However, in view of the fact that the current situation of epidemic prevention and control in our city is still very severe and complicated, in order to reduce the cluster infection that may be caused by the sweeping activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day, resolutely build a defense line for epidemic prevention and control, and effectively protect the health of the masses and the safety of public life in the city, we hereby notify the sweeping activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day in 2022 as follows:

1.During the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day in 2022, all funeral service institutions in the city, such as cemeteries and columbariums, completely suspended the on-site sweeping service, and cancelled all kinds of public sacrifices, sea sacrifices, ashes scattering, collective farewell and other personnel gathering activities. I hope that the general public will consciously abide by the relevant requirements, mourn at home, remember in different places, do not go to the scene to sweep, avoid gathering together, and prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Second, the city's cemeteries and columbariums will promote the use of funeral service network platforms such as "Tangshan filial piety housekeeper", actively promote "Internet plus funeral service", open services such as valet sacrifice sweeping and cloud sacrifice sweeping, and develop online sacrifice sweeping services to effectively meet the needs of the masses. Through online memorial service and remote memorial service, the masses are encouraged to make use of the "cloud memorial service" provided by cemeteries and columbariums and online memorial service.

Third, I hope that the general public will actively respond to the new trend of civilized sacrifice, consciously abandon the bad habits of burning paper money, mingbi and other sacrifices, prohibit the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, encourage the use of flowers instead of paper money to pay homage to ancestors, advocate changing customs, and advocate a new trend of green ecological civilization funeral.

4. During the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Civil Affairs Bureau set up the Tomb-Sweeping Day Sacrificial Sweeping Work Office, arranged special personnel to be on duty during the legal holidays in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and earnestly implemented the national Tomb-Sweeping Day Sacrificial Sweeping Daily System. County civil affairs departments, cemeteries, columbariums, etc. We will also arrange special personnel to be on duty, set up a contact number and accept the consultation of the general public.
