Recently, the media and the Internet reflects, in the earthquake-stricken area of some funeral parlours, the cremated remains of victims of the earthquake, the unclaimed ashes of the high costs of collection, response, the Ministry of Civil Affairs official said that Sichuan Province and the Ministry (网站优化,搜索引擎优化,SEO) of Civil Affairs in the Home Office, the city state Council to communicate, the results are not such as the Internet has said, there exists a certain misunderstanding.

Ministry of Civil Affairs held this morning Wenchuan earthquake "three isolated" resettlement and disaster relief personnel and material situation conference. Ministry of Civil Affairs, Social Welfare and Social Affairs Secretary Zhang Feng, deputy director of the conference is (升降机,升降平台) to make the above statement. Zhang Feng, May 12 earthquake in Wenchuan, the cremated remains of fees issue has not introduced a new policy, these costs are in accordance with the relevant provisions of the past implemented. May 15, many disaster areas in Sichuan Province began a refund of a funeral parlour on the work of cremation fees. From May 17 after the cremation in Sichuan are free of such basic cremation costs.

Zhang Feng, June 3, Internet users for the cremation of the Sichuan disaster areas by charging for some criticism, the light of this situation, the Ministry of Civil Affairs leadership attaches great importance, given instructions, social welfare and social services immediately with the Sichuan Provincial Home Secretary Office, including some funeral services direct communication and contact, understanding  (升降平台,登车桥,升降机) of the situation.

Zhang Feng said that the press of public opinion is very welcome, this is a driving force for improving the work. Chuan Wenchuan after the earthquake on the remains of four cremation charges, due to policy formulation and promulgation of a process, because the four Chuan Wenchuan earthquake sudden, a lot of time at the beginning of the policy is based on the situation gradually develop and perfect.

Zhang Feng, May 12 earthquake in Wenchuan, May 13 to 15, then in Sichuan Province, the cremated remains of the charges have not introduced a new policy. This is because at that time mainly in the post-disaster emergency rescue, is life-saving issues. At that time, Sichuan has not promulgated relevant policies. These costs are in accordance with the relevant provisions of the past implemented. (弹簧,升降机,数据恢复) May 15, according to the Sichuan Provincial Civil Affairs Department was handling the situation remains, emergency conduct of the study, and clearly for the earthquake victims in the remains cremated first Guazhang implemented, or not to cremation fees. Based on this, from May 15, a funeral parlour many disaster areas in Sichuan Province, started working for the refund of cremation.

Zhang Feng, for example, because of Beichuan County, not a funeral parlour in the May 13th to the 15th cremated remains of some, that is, in Mianyang City, the other a funeral parlour. At that time, Mianyang City funeral parlour other family members immediately began a return to the work of cremation fees. However, due to the difficulty of contact, annealing of the charges until today the ratio has not achieved 100 per cent. At that time, to cremation, the family can come directly link them to leave now, the funeral parlour work now is very tense and at the same time in a very short time to the hundreds of home phone communication (同声传译,同声翻译,同声翻译设备,升降机) cremation fee refund, it is very difficult.

Zhang Feng, May 17, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Health introduced, the Home Office received advice Sichuan Province immediately after the three ministries in accordance with the views of implementation of free basic cremation costs requirements. From May 17, in Sichuan cremation should waive the basic cremation costs.

Zhang Feng, May 13 to May 15, when the new policy has not introduced before the funeral parlours are charged in accordance with the provisions of the past cremation fees. If we all look at this issue for the funeral of the disaster areas in Sichuan collected the remains for cremation, is not inappropriate » This charging method in the May 13th to the 15th is there, not because the new policy introduced, (高空作业平台,液压升降机) if we do not consider the time, it is now saying that the existing problems, and this serious violation. Therefore, the time to make clear that this was what the cost is charged against the background of the policy. To understand this point, many problems can be resolved.

Zhang Feng also noted that the cremation of the large number of items, we are talking about cremation is the most fundamental. For example, every now Sichuan cremated remains at the same time, to send money to 300 urn. If the families of 300 yuan will not say the urn, to 30,000, to the time of the funeral parlour to 30,000 families, families do not replenishment is not acceptable. Therefore the basic policies and regulations exempt from fees. Some costs are personalized requests, say do not meet the provisions of the three ministries. Three ministries document provides the basic cost of implementation of replenishment, which are not humane, it is taking into account social justice, with special needs must be met, in the current tense situation in particular circumstances, sometimes it is very difficult to meet.
