Xinhua News on April 5, for traditional Chinese funeral culture has always been about the dead, but arrival of the Ching Ming Festival, the survey found, some people die instead of buried in time, but morgue morgue, a funeral home for years or even decades nobody, leading national cabinet in an emergency morgue, a funeral home, fee stacking, normal operation face difficulties. How to properly dispose of the body, break the "morgue, despite" gridlock has become a difficult problem in management of hospital and funeral.
Accumulated dead serious has the body of a morgue, a funeral home for 21 years
Inner Mongolia Medical University Hospital hospital morgue is located in a secluded corner. 51-year old head of the mortuary Yunchang (not his real name) through the cold Cabinet, check the corpses disinfected. Reporters visited Yunchang cheeky smile and sigh.
"Hospital of the Cabinet altogether was less than 50, which, over more than 30 years had been unable to dispose of the bodies occupy, where enough left for daily use! Now, there are new body can only reject or coordination to elsewhere. "Yunchang said, because the relevant Department has not issued death certificate more than more than 30 bodies and cremated the funeral home cannot, so the bodies all the year round in the corpse in the cupboard. Electricity, artificial, sterile ... ... The hospital is stressful.
It is understood that at present about 200 bodies in Hohhot are not handled and perennial morgue morgue, funeral parlour, or five or six years, long 21 years collapsed. "Product of serious problems actually exists in each League City, Inner Mongolia, is not in the hospital morgue, each County funeral home at least save on average ten year to year unable to dispose of the bodies. "Inner Mongolia Home Office Social Affairs Deputy Director Wang Qingmin said.
Reporters visited several provinces found that more mortuaries, funeral homes across the country are facing the same problems. At present, Jinan City funeral homes and more than more than 80 corpses in the Lotus Hill Funeral Home all year round are not handled, part of the body was stored for more than 10 years. In Kunming, Kunming City funeral parlor only long-term storage of more than more than 70 corpses. In Guangzhou, the business base, mobile population, Guangzhou City Government more than a year to claim deposit the bodies of up to 1300-1400.
Lotus Hill Funeral Home, Jinan City Zhang Tao, Director of business believe that bodies are not handled will create a lot of problems for a long time. First of all, lack of respect for the deceased. "Dead even and well preserved, also faces problems such as dehydration and discoloration. The longer saving the more difficult. "And secondly, body long term indwelling taking up public service resources, lead to dysfunctional, some bodies could have normal access can only be temporarily sent to another place. Third, the body long-term care costs will become mortuaries and funeral homes drag a heavy burden. "To the Museum Store 12 years a body count, ordinary freezers charges 50 Yuan a day, 1 year is more than 18,000 yuan, plus artificial routine inspections, equipment maintenance and other costs, total costs about 200,000 yuan. "Zhang said.
Unwilling to move, to move the accumulation of bodies dealing with problems
State funeral regulations issued by 2012 (revised) expressly provides that: cremated remains must be by public security organs or bodies prescribed by the Administrative Department of health under the State Council issued death certificates. But in everyday life, some body for different reasons, lack of "death proof" this key element, funeral homes and not cremated bodies of non-natural deaths, leading to accumulated dead serious.
"Mr Frederick FUNG a, male, March 31, 2010 by 120 to the morgue. "The deceased von save relevant information simply write in a book. 6 years ago, von died of a car accident. After consulting with Feng sisters awarded 90,000 yuan, but take the money from 2 people ran. "We had it right as a family contact information, received from the refusal to become empty, Feng an corpses so far nobody's business. "Yunchang said police worry that Mr Frederick FUNG will come back in a body treatment, so out death certificates, Feng an corpses so aged for 6 years nobody, save costs are also borne by the morgue.
Comprehensive funeral management department head's statements, the current accumulated body morgue, a funeral home can be divided into four types: the first is the nameless, unclaimed corpses. For the wrongful death of nameless, unclaimed corpses, police are reluctant to issue a death certificate and sent to a funeral home for cremation, because of concerns about family members emerge one day and asked for the body; the second is famous and the main body. Most of the bodies involved in various disputes, if the death certificate issued by the public security organs and cremation of the body might have offended the ends of the dispute so that they become the target of; the third is related to the body of medical malpractice, physician-patient conflicts unresolved, body is yet to deal with; the fourth to have connection with the body, since the case was not broken, the body needs continue to exist.
Funeral directors in Kunming Qu Qin believe that various bodies are unable to deal with for a long time, mainly because the relevant laws and regulations and in the absence of specific operational rules and provisions. Reporters check out the funeral management Ordinance found, full text and do not involve nameless, unclaimed corpses, famous, main body containing disputes, medical bodies and bodies in connection with specific procedures and modalities. Local laws, some related content is increased according to actual needs, and some still blank. As the funeral management Ordinance only in Hohhot of unknown and no requirement for a clear method of the main body. Due to the lack of guidance for laws and regulations, all sectors of processing the body does not become by far the most "safe" approach. Hunan village woman was wrongly detained 186 days
"Despite Hohhot City funeral management Ordinance provides unknown, and no main remains by police organ timely released claimed announcement, announcement full 60 day no claimed of, funeral home by police organ issued of death proved will its cremation, but actual in the, police sector and no by provides for operation, body pulled into Taiping between Hou again didn't has below......" in Inner Mongolia people hospital Taiping between one staff said, on about sector for, these body is tricky of problem, who are unwilling to moving, and can't moving, Get into disputes about responsibility.
Improvement of legislation to be broken
Reporters found that because there is no effective way to solve the accumulated corpses, morgue, funeral homes continue to have as much national "new body" becomes "old" number increased, to turnover. Normal operation of the morgue, a funeral home has problems. In addition, some regional bodies in storage costs paid for by local financial bodies year-round stores become places a small payout, and a waste of suspicion. Many insiders call should perfect relevant laws and regulations, to address this issue as soon as possible.
"Break the fundamental way out of the dilemma is the perfect laws and regulations, clarifying the body handlers. "Wang Qingmin suggested, for a variety of reasons" mortuary doesn't care about "how to deal with and punish police and funeral management Department, hospital and other main issues such as distribution of powers and responsibilities will need further clarification of the law, otherwise the police will have to deal with concerns, other sectors are also in a bind.
"The current from the operations perspective, relevant departments involved should be more proactive in the implementation of existing provisions, unable to wrangle the fear of responsibility, mortuary and funeral home the ball. "Many hospitals said, now had one hand and Digest stock, avoiding hand increases, so gradually perfecting the laws and regulations at the same time, the departments concerned should clear the respective responsibilities and strengthen coordination and cooperation. Public security departments should strictly enforce the notice due out death certificates to facilitate the disposal of unclaimed bodies.
Guangzhou City Government Department officials believe that bodies frozen in a funeral home have a higher cost, there are many poor families of the deceased, his family finally came, we are faced with a man forever separated from grief, still face big financial burden. Funeral management department can coordinate the morgue, a funeral home, to help families in difficulty-relief-related costs. It is a comfort to the bereaved, also helps to resolve the accumulated dead serious problems.
