In February, State Duma deputies intend to submit for consideration a bill on the funeral business in Russia, which will make funerals a public service and introduce the issuance of appropriate permits. The document is currently under revision, Vedomosti reports.
According to the law “On Burial and Funeral Business”, which has been in force since 1996, ritual services in the Russian Federation can only be carried out by specialized services created by local governments. In reality, the provision of ritual services has become a business where outright corruption reigns.
The essence of the idea is to oblige legal entities and individual entrepreneurs involved in funeral services to obtain permits for the implementation of funeral activities. All persons who have received such permission will be entered in a special register, which should list the services they provide and the price of these services.
Legislators hope that this will help stop the rise in prices for funeral services and streamline the business, in which there are many “black” companies.
Earlier, Russia developed the National Standard for Urgent Burial of Human and Animal Corpses in Wartime and Peacetime, which came into force on February 1st.
