The procedure for reimbursing municipal specialized funeral services for the cost of a guaranteed list of services for the burial of the deceased. On determining the cost of services provided according to the guaranteed list of funeral services,

The Law “On Funeral Business” was adopted in 1996 and has not changed since then. It provides for the possibility of free burial, but the mandatory implementation of this clause is lost in the paper bureaucracy, which is where the gray schemes originate, when you have to pay “out of pocket” for a “place in the sun” in the cemetery.

The know-how proposed by the president involves the formalization necessary documents for burial and provision of a “guaranteed list” of funeral services on the “one window” principle - using SNILS and without additional collection of documents.

What is a “guaranteed list”?

IN federal law of 1996 “On burial and funeral business” states that the guaranteed list of funeral services includes: paperwork, provision and delivery of a coffin, transportation of the body (remains) of the deceased to the cemetery (crematorium), burial (cremation with subsequent delivery of an urn with ashes).

What's 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 per year. Moreover, depending on the region, the rules for processing documents, the list of services themselves, and their cost today vary greatly. For example, according to local Moscow laws, you can reserve a place in a cemetery in advance, but in fact, buy it. In St. Petersburg, this can only be done if you have a death certificate. And this creates an unhealthy excitement in such a sad matter as a funeral. After calling the cemetery from your mobile phone, strangers start calling you and offering a variety of funeral services.

Will the state help?

These are low-income people whose income is below one subsistence level. 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, such assistance was provided in St. Petersburg 427 times for a total of 2,369,000 rubles. The second group in St. Petersburg is “blockade survivors, juvenile prisoners of camps, etc.” (if income is below two subsistence levels). The one-time payment in this case is 8917 rubles. As of June 1, 2017, it was used 610 times for a total of 5,222,000 rubles. In addition, you can receive compensation from the city for the funeral. The benefit is 5562 rubles.

How much does “full” cost?

By law, the cemetery itself must be provided free of charge. True, where these places exist. The list of cemeteries with permitted burials is very limited, and there is no open source information about their condition that any old woman can understand.

In St. Petersburg, Yuzhnoye and Kovalevskoye cemeteries are most often proposed 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 cost around 9 thousand rubles. A hearse transport costs 6 thousand and a few kopecks. The minimum price for the entire range of services is 40 thousand rubles. There is no maximum.

History and present of “private cemeteries” in Russia.

The President spoke 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 sanitary zones, the location of reservoirs, populated areas, and so on. And these areas are no longer enough. Experts say that there is simply nowhere for new “private cemeteries” to appear in St. Petersburg. And if they decide to create them, it will be the Leningrad region.

Who to follow as an example?

As it turns out, there are attempts to create a “one window” at a cemetery in Russia. And IT technologies come to the rescue again; you can’t live without the Internet. Operates in Moscow and the Moscow region mobile app“Honest agent”, which allows you to select a cemetery online, register a plot there, order transport, funeral goods, receive a contract and pay for all these services. The IT company says that on average they fulfill about 500 orders per month through online schemes. In St. Petersburg there is the “Official website of the Unified City Dispatch Service for Funeral Services” (http://egds-spb.ru), where comparative analysis prices from different companies, tips on identifying scammers and a call to report all funeral oddities to the creators of the resource.

Who will put the “gray schemes” in order?

Of course, the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The 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 funeral services sector, based on the results of which they would have to draw up a fight plan. In addition, at the behest of the president, who is considering whether to run for a new term, active and abandoned cemeteries will be inventoried and that “unified approach” to the provision of funeral services throughout the country will be created. It is still unclear which of the existing players in the ritual market will benefit and who the new players who will come after the changes are.

In the shadow

Until inspections of cemeteries become widespread, it is not easy to find out about the shadow cemetery business. However, there are cases of emerging from the shadows. For example, in Yekaterinburg, a former cemetery caretaker will appear in court, accused of embezzling over 2.1 million rubles under the pretext of organizing burial services. The Yekaterinburg prosecutor's office approved such an indictment in June. In Moscow, cemetery employees will appear in court, accused of bribery for providing burial places where there is no longer room to bury them. It's about about a reward in the amount of 400 thousand rubles.

Opinion

Chapter expert council RPO “We Remember Everyone by Name” Alexander Nesmeyanov is confident that everything said so far about the new “funeral law” is a “smokescreen” that is needed to lift the current ban on the transfer of burials. If the legislative ban on moving, for example, fraternal military graves is lifted, then “cemeteries can be built throughout the country.” In large cities great amount territories - necropolises that occupy tens of hectares. “The lifting of the ban is being lobbied by builders. The second group of lobbyists are funeral directors who, declaring the lack of land for burial, want to implement “ European scheme", according to which, after 20 years, relatives either pay for burial, or reburial with cremation is carried out to free up the territory and further burial of other persons," Alexander Nesmeyanov told Fontanka.
