The Funeral Law was adopted in 1996 and has not changed since then. It provides for the possibility of free burial, but the obligation to comply with this point is lost in the paper bureaucracy, which is where the gray schemes originate when you have to pay “into your pocket” for a “place in the sun” in a cemetery.

The know-how proposed by the President involves the design required documents for burial and provision guaranteed list»Funeral services on the principle of“ one window ”- using SNILS and without additional collection of documents.

What is a guaranteed list?

The 1996 Federal Law "On Burial and Funeral" states that the guaranteed list of burial services includes: paperwork, provision and delivery of the coffin, transportation of the body (remains) of the deceased to the cemetery (crematorium), burial (cremation followed by the issuance of an urn with ashes).

What is wrong with the "funeral business" now?

It seems that everything is so, but relatives often pay money to “gray agents” for burial services. The presidential control department estimates their market at 120 - 150 billion rubles a year. Moreover, depending on the region and the rules of paperwork, the list of services itself, and their cost today vary greatly. For example, according to local Moscow laws, you can reserve a place in the cemetery in advance, but in fact - buy it. In St. Petersburg, this can only be done with a death certificate. And this creates an unhealthy excitement in such a sad business as a funeral. After you call from your mobile to the cemetery, strangers start calling you and offering a variety of funeral services.

Will the state help?

These are the poor, whose income is below one living wage. They are entitled to a one-time payment of 6,790 rubles for burial and 4,382 rubles for cremation. As of June 1, 2017, in St. Petersburg, such assistance was provided 427 times for a total of 2,369,000 rubles. The second group in St. Petersburg - "blockades, juvenile prisoners of camps, etc." (if the income is below two living wages). Lump sum payment in this case - 8917 rubles. As of June 1, 2017, it was used 610 times for a total of 5,222,000 rubles. In addition, for the funeral, you can get compensation from the city. The allowance is 5562 rubles.

How much does it cost "in full"?

By law, the place itself in the cemetery must be provided free of charge. True, where these places are. The list of cemeteries with permitted burial is very limited, and there is no information on their condition in open sources that is understandable for any old woman.

In St. Petersburg, the Yuzhnoye and Kovalevskoye cemeteries are most often offered as burial places. Preparing "free space" costs 19 thousand rubles there. Ritual items (coffin, wreaths, etc.) cost at least 6.5 thousand. Morgue services for preparing the body for burial - in the region of 9 thousand rubles. Hire transport costs 6 thousand kopecks. The minimum of the entire range of services is 40 thousand rubles. There is no maximum.

The history and present of "private cemeteries" in Russia.

The President started talking about "private cemeteries" as a way to deal with funeral crime. Private cemeteries existed before the 1917 revolution. For example, during the defense of Sevastopol in 1854-1855, some people were buried in a private cemetery, which was then partially moved, and the cemetery was reclaimed. Now special areas have been allocated for cemeteries, taking into account the sanitary zones, the location of reservoirs, settlements etc. And these sites are no longer enough. Experts say that new "private cemeteries" in St. Petersburg simply have nowhere to appear. And if they decide to create them, then it will be the Leningrad region.

From whom to take an example?

As it turns out, there are attempts to create a "one window" in a cemetery in Russia. And IT technologies come to the rescue again, without the Internet anywhere. On the territory of Moscow and the Moscow Region, there is a mobile application "Honest Agent" that allows you to select a cemetery online, register a plot on it, order transport, ritual goods, obtain an agreement and pay for all these services. The IT company claims that on average they execute about 500 orders per month using online schemes. In St. Petersburg there is an "Official site of the Unified City Dispatch Service of Funeral Services" (http://egds-spb.ru), where comparative analysis prices of different companies, advice on identifying fraudsters and a call to report all funeral oddities to the creators of the resource.

Who will tidy up the gray schemes?

Of course, the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The next day after the news of the president's order, it became known that it was these departments that would conduct a comprehensive audit of the sphere of funeral services, based on the results of which they would have to draw up a plan of struggle. In addition, at the behest of the president, who is thinking whether to go for a new term, the existing and abandoned cemeteries will be inventoried and the same “single approach” to the provision of funeral services throughout the country will be created. It is not yet clear which of the existing players in the ritual market will benefit and who are the new players who will come after the changes.

In the shadow

Until inspections of cemeteries have become widespread, it is not easy to find out about the shadow cemetery business. However, there are cases of getting out of the shadows. For example, in Yekaterinburg, the ex-caretaker of cemeteries will appear before the court, accused of embezzling over 2.1 million rubles under the pretext of organizing burial services. The prosecutor's office in Yekaterinburg approved this indictment in June. In Moscow, employees of the cemetery will appear before the court, accused of bribery for providing burial places where there is no longer any place to bury. We are talking about a remuneration in the amount of 400 thousand rubles.

Opinion

Chapter expert council RPO "We remember everyone by name" Alexander Nesmeyanov is sure that everything that has been said so far about the new "funeral law" is a "smokescreen" that is needed to cancel the current ban on the transfer of burials. If the legal ban on the transfer of, for example, fraternal military graves is lifted, then "cemeteries can be built up throughout the country." In large cities there is a huge number of territories - necropolises, which occupy dozens of hectares. “The lifting of the ban is being lobbied by the builders. The second group of lobbyists are funerals who, claiming that there is no land for burial, want to introduce a "European scheme" according to which, after 20 years, relatives either pay for burial, or reburial with cremation is carried out to free the territory and further burial of other persons, "he said. "Fontanka" Alexander Nesmeyanov.

Each of us should know that all spheres of human life in a legal society are governed by certain legislative norms. The guaranteed list of burial services is no exception. It is worthy to leave this mortal world - this is the constitutional right of every citizen of our country. That is why the relatives and friends of the deceased, on whose shoulders the honorary mission of organizing the funeral has been entrusted, should know that today there is a list of services that are provided government bodies and structures on a free basis.

Unfortunately, quite often unscrupulous employees of funeral agencies of dubious quality offer us services that are free for quite a lot of money, which makes the final cost of funeral services unbearable burden for many of us. Knowing some legal framework will help you avoid unnecessary expenses, which will already be a lot in the mournful moments of parting with the deceased. So, each of us should know that there is a list of services defined by law that is provided to funeral organizers absolutely free of charge:

registration of all documents necessary for burial;
provision and transportation of the coffin and the required minimum of ritual items;
provision of a place in the cemetery at the request of the organizers;
transportation of remains to a morgue or crematorium;
cremation or burial.

Thus, we can say that there is a guaranteed minimum that the state will provide to the relatives or friends of the deceased free of charge in any case, regardless of their financial situation... These services have their own cost, which will be reimbursed by government agencies to the funeral service that organized the funeral. Thus, every citizen of our country will certainly and without fail receive a guaranteed list of burial services, regardless of social status or financial situation. To be buried with dignity, in our country, everyone has a constitutional right.

Procedure for reimbursement of funeral expenses

If the responsibilities of organizing a funeral have fallen on your shoulders, then you should know what there is such a thing as compensation for burial. What does this mean? This means that every funeral planner has two options:

Pay for all burial services at any funeral service agency that you decide to entrust this difficult mission. In the first 6 months after the funeral, you can contact one of the state structures and receive compensation for burial. The amount of such compensation, of course, does not cover all the costs of the burial, but it can be quite a significant help. The amount of assistance depends on the region, since local governments have the right to determine the amount of compensation, but there is also a certain fixed amount, which is guaranteed by the state budget. In Moscow and the Moscow region, there are also special allowances for the allowance, and therefore the amount of payments can be quite impressive.
Contact the relevant authorities, provide a death certificate and write an application for the provision of free (guaranteed) burial services. It is worth considering that in this case, you will receive the required minimum of funeral services, but you will lose the right to receive monetary compensation for burial.

All other services that are not considered mandatory, namely: organizing and conducting a memorial meal, ordering hearse transport, services of priests or funeral bands, are paid at the expense of own funds family and friends of the deceased. A guaranteed list of burial services and a full range of additional funeral services are offered by the City Funeral Services, which operates in Moscow and in the Moscow region.
