Is the urn with ashes supposed to be at home or in the cemetery? The government is divided

The Ministry of Development and Technology is working on a draft amendment to the cemetery and burial law, which has not been included in the legislative agenda yet. The current law, dating back to 1959, restricts burials to cemeteries in coffins or urns. The ministry aims to introduce new burial options, such as home storage of urns and scattering ashes in various locations. Discussions are ongoing with other ministries to address the need for modernization, as societal expectations have evolved. The proposed changes also include allowing biodegradable urns and memorial jewelry. The rising number of deaths and limited cemetery space further necessitate these reforms, which aim to accommodate personal preferences in burial practices.
