Is it illegal to occupy other people’s forest land for burial?

Legal analysis: To bury a grave in someone else’s forest land, you must first obtain the consent of the forest rights owner or user. If the forest land is contracted, it should be approved by the contractor. If no one has contracted it, the forest land belongs to the collective and the local village committee should be consulted. If, without relative consent, this practice is an infringement, the infringed party has the right to ask the infringer to stop the infringement, restore the original status, and demand compensation for losses if there is actual loss.

Legal basis: Article 74 of the "Land Management Law of the People's Republic of China" violates the provisions of this law by occupying cultivated land to build kilns or graves, or building houses, digging sand, or digging sand on cultivated land without authorization. If quarrying, mining, soil extraction, etc. destroys planting conditions, or causes desertification or salinization of land due to land development, the land administration department of the people's government at or above the county level shall order corrections or treatment within a time limit, and may also impose a fine; this constitutes a crime , be held criminally responsible in accordance with the law.
