Many people think that Babaoshan Cemetery can only bury Red Army martyrs, founding generals, scientists, patriots and other people who have made special contributions to the country. But in fact, ordinary citizens also have the opportunity to be buried here, provided that they have sufficient economic conditions to support them. Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery has also established Babaoshan People's Cemetery, which is mainly used by citizens. It is said that Babaoshan People's Cemetery cannot be purchased in advance, and it can only be handled by family members and relatives after death.
On March 27th this year, Babaoshan People's Cemetery held its third public open day. In addition, free trolleys and beverage vending machines have been added to Babaoshan People's Cemetery this year. During his stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, he also provided free gold powder paint pens, cheap flowers and cold food. So how much does it cost to buy a cemetery here? Let's have a look.
When everyone is still struggling with housing prices, in fact, the price of cemeteries has not risen slower than housing prices. According to statistics, since 2008, the annual increase of cemeteries in Beijing has exceeded 25%. The lowest price of Babaoshan Cemetery in 2008 was 1.9 million yuan, and now it is more than 654.38+million yuan per square meter, which is quite exaggerated.
Moreover, the house still has 70 years of property rights, and the "lease period" of the cemetery is only 20 years. If the lease expires, it will be renewed. If you don't renew it, it will probably be taken away. Even so, the cemetery is still in short supply. The staff said that the cemetery is now saturated and cannot be purchased. They can only make an appointment with a death certificate. "As for when it can be arranged, it is not clear."
Many people spit, spend hundreds of thousands to buy a cemetery, lease for 20 years, and rent it for 20 years. It is really a dilemma.
Then why do so many people flock to such an uneconomical cemetery? I think it may be a "brand effect". As netizens said, being buried in Babaoshan means being next door to a great man. There are some old ideas that feng shui here is very good, so although it is expensive, it is still in short supply.
