Why are cemeteries in Shanghai getting more and more expensive?

First of all, objectively speaking: China's traditional ideas.

Everyone wants to put the body in a beautiful place, with convenient transportation, so that others can't enter the ravine. So you have to build roads. It's not good to find a wasteland with bad feng shui. There are few cemeteries in big cities for many reasons. The cost of building a cemetery park is also high, because it needs to build a large-scale cemetery to make a profit, and a cemetery will directly affect the surrounding areas. Land sold by the Land Bureau is generally used for commercial/residential/industrial purposes. I haven't heard that buying a piece of land can build a cemetery. After all, no one wants to live near the buried dead. Your cemetery is valuable, but the surrounding land and houses are cheaper. It is impossible for you to build a cemetery without two brushes (not to mention), which means it is very, very difficult to approve the cemetery land.

Second, the land used as a cemetery has low space utilization rate.

There are gaps between tombstones, and the green area is relatively high. Moreover, people need to look after and maintain the garden to ensure the cleanliness of the cemetery and the maintenance of green plants. It costs about 1-20000 yuan to make a tombstone. It should be clear that the cemetery staff should always serve you, clean up the dead and clean up the moldy sacrifices in the cemetery. Who wants to do it? A cemetery can't use three-dimensional space like a house, and no one wants to put himself under others. The price of each location of the cemetery is different, depending on the specific location of the cemetery.

Third, the 43 operating cemeteries authorized by Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau must have certain hardware requirements.

For example, a cemetery must be equipped with corresponding parking lots, public toilets and so on. It is important to know that few people go to the cemetery, and it will only be crowded around the Qingming Festival or during the winter solstice, while the parking lot can only be empty in leisure time, and these lands need cost.

Subjectively speaking, that is, from the consumer's own factors, the consumer groups in the graveyard all want to buy the happiness of the underworld with Shi Yang's money, so it is definitely more expensive to buy a house across two worlds (joking). Besides, money will not bring death, and since ancient times, it is not extravagant for dignitaries to do white things. China people love face, but only rich people love dignity. The high price of cemeteries now also reflects that our living standards have improved and people have extra money in their pockets. Investors in the cemetery seized on this. Whether you like it or not, no matter who you buy it for, it must be the person you love the most (including yourself who cherishes yourself the least, of course). How can you make a counter offer? How can you make do? People who usually dig don't dig money on it. In ancient times, no matter how poor people were, they would not spend their own coffin money, nor would they spend the coffin money of the elderly. Why?

There are many people in China, and China has its own customs. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, people used to worship the graves of their ancestors during the Ghost Festival and the Spring Festival to protect our safety. It is not difficult to see that every year when the temple burns incense, people are squeezed to death. Don't think that the queues in the middle of the night are all old men and women, among whom young people account for the vast majority. This is the custom of the Chinese nation and will not change in the future.
