Private cemeteries in world practice
On the one hand, the idea of creating a business to provide the last refuge is very logical. However, world practice shows that the solution to this issue is ambiguous.
Even in the New World and in Europe a hundred years ago, the existence of private cemeteries was common.
At present, such an idea is clearly not welcomed by the authorities. Why is this happening? The fact is that many years of experience in running such a business have shown that privatization inevitably entails many problems related to landscaping, as well as ownership rights to graves located in this territory.
Private cemeteries in Russia
Currently, the places where the last shelters are located are in the department of the municipality. How to open a private cemetery? Today in Russia such a business is contrary to the current legislation. However, the Antimonopoly Federal Service has already made a proposal to amend regulatory acts.
There is a possibility that a number of legislative acts will nevertheless be amended and private graveyards will appear on the territory of the Russian Federation. Assume that they will be allocated land leased for forty-nine years. According to experts, this will reduce the cost of funeral procedures.
