Now housing prices are rising again and again, and even the price of cemeteries will rise with the tide, and it has become the norm in the world to be unable to live and die, which makes many people have to "take the sword" and "take risks". "[Rose]
Some time ago, there was an incident on the Internet that someone put his father's ashes into the hive express cabinet, and it only cost 55 yuan a year, 550 yuan in 10 years, 1100 yuan in 20 years, and about 2,000 yuan in 30 and 40 years, which is much cheaper than buying a cemetery.
Netizens gave him the idea to run an annual card, which only costs 55 yuan a year, so he doesn't have to worry about the detention of the express, and he will not charge a detention fee.
And according to a netizen's friend, his father told him that the express cabinet was too noisy, and what to do with his friend next, this netizen has no follow-up......

What happened
A Weibo netizen named "Lemon Essence Living on the Moon" posted a Weibo post detailing her friend's experience, according to which her friend's father had passed away, and she wanted to keep the cemetery at home because it was too expensive for her friend.
However, the house at home should be just enough to live in, and it is impossible to open up a separate space for the urn, but it is indeed not a way to follow the urn all year round.
Then netizens proposed a creative solution, suggesting that the ashes of loved ones be placed in the lattice of the hive locker, which is small but independent, and more cost-effective, only need to pay a one-time annual fee of 55 yuan, you can avoid long-term detention costs, and in the long run, the cost is much lower than expensive cemeteries.
The friend accepted the suggestion and placed the father's ashes properly, and soon after, the friend shared a peculiar dream with netizens: in the dream, the father seemed to be dissatisfied with the environment of the locker, mentioning that there was a lot of people, and the sound of doors opening and closing was incessant, and it was difficult to obtain peace.
As soon as this netizen was issued, it aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens, this matter is too mysterious, and it is still a dream? Do dead people really feel anything? And it's too scary to pick up the courier, no one knows that there is an urn inside the courier cabinet.
The discussion about this matter quickly spread to the ears of the hive headquarters, and the company responded quickly, emphasizing that its express lockers have a regular cleaning mechanism, which is cleared every week, so it is impossible for the ashes to be stored in the express lockers for a year.
The strange talk of "dreaming" and the official clarification made the feasibility of this plan collapse in an instant. Later, it was confirmed by Chao News that this incident was actually a fictional joke by netizens, which was intended for entertainment, not a real event. The hive also reiterated that the express locker is not a place to store special items such as ashes.
On July 23, the netizen publicly issued an apology, making it clear that the ashes should be placed in a special facility, apologizing for the misleading possible misleading false information he had previously released, and calling on the public to use all kinds of public facilities correctly and reasonably.
It turned out to be a false alarm, but this netizen's post also led to a social chaos, that is, the matter of the sky-high cemetery.

Sky-high cemetery
In recent years, the sky-high cemetery has been in an uproar, and many people have difficulty even entering the soil for peace, and the price of the cemetery will become a hot topic every Qingming Festival or Midyear Festival.
A woman wanted to know the price of the cemetery on a whim when she was worshipping her ancestors, so she asked the staff and got a price list, which showed that the 6-square-meter cemetery was 240,000 yuan, or 40,000 yuan per square meter, which was about the same as the local housing price.
Eight years ago, she also bought a cemetery for her deceased relatives, a double cemetery is only more than 100,000, and now the single tomb has reached more than 200,000, and the speed of price increase is really unacceptable.
In fact, the cemetery is also divided into lots, although the flower bed area is cheap, but it is already overcrowded, in addition to the price of the cemetery itself, there are more than 2,000 funeral points, and the tombstone has to charge ten yuan for each word.
Who is driving up the price of cemeteries? CCTV reporters did a special interview, in a cemetery in Beijing, the cheapest cemetery is nearly 120,000, the area is not even half a square meter, other cemeteries price range between 138,000-500,000, the largest area is only one square meter.
Prices at a cemetery in Wuhan are soothing compared to Beijing, but they are still high, with even the most remote cemetery in the park priced at 40,000 yuan. Turning to Jiangxi, the price is relatively close to the people, with a minimum of more than 20,000 yuan, but despite this, the area of each cemetery still fails to exceed one square meter
Some experts have analyzed the reasons for the price increase, because the process of urbanization is getting faster and faster, and the urban population is increasing, which leads to the increasing demand for commercial cemeteries, and the supply is less than the demand, so the price will also rise.
In addition, there are many cemeteries because there is no unified price standard, so there will be a lot of egg pricing, bundled consumption and forced consumption. In addition, in the traditional consciousness of the Chinese, after a person dies, it is best to let him enter the earth for peace, so the sacrifices involved are higher.

Netizen comments
Some netizens shook their wits and said that there was no need to be so troublesome, he was cremated directly when he died, and then wiped the wall with water, after all, he wanted the teacher to let the mud be supported on the wall.
It's a good idea, but I don't know if the people who live near this wall will be afraid.
There is also a netizen who pushes the boat, because he also knows that the price of cemeteries is very expensive now, so it is recommended to set up some ash storage points across the country, and then charge management fees, many people can't afford to buy cemeteries in their spare time, which can be regarded as benefiting mankind, and wait until they can afford to buy cemeteries and take away the ashes of their relatives.
Someone also complained about the beehive, this netizen said that his friend had lost the things stored in the hive, but three years later he found it in the hive.
Some people also say that it is not impossible, after all, the living are much more terrible than the dead.
For these, some netizens said that he doesn't need to buy a coffin after he dies, he only needs to be cremated, if there is no place to bury it, he will scatter it in the sea or on the mountain, why spend so much money when people are dead.
There are many people under this comment who have the same idea as him, and some say that it is still a bit of a thought to simply make the ashes into diamonds, so that it will be an heirloom.
Some netizens analyzed that many funeral homes now have ashes storage services, 80 yuan a year, although it is more expensive than the express cabinet, but at least it is safer and more professional here, and it can also worship in a bright and bright way, and it is a lot less money than the cemetery.
Netizens agreed with his idea, saying that every village in his town has a columbarium under general control, and a year's struggle is about 50 yuan, which is very cost-effective, and one grid can hold two urns.
Anyway, whether it is a funeral home or a columbarium, it looks much more reliable than the express cabinet, so if the blogger on Weibo wants to make a joke, he must also take a look at it in combination with the actual situation.
