Shanghai will improve funeral
and interment services during its reforms in the sector in the following five
years, today's Shanghai Morning Post reported.
One of the major reforms is to make the pricing public and cancel fees for
some services, as briefed at an industry-wide conference held yesterday by the
city's funeral service center.
Meeting participants said the reforms should lead to an industry practice
that service providers show the price lists of services to customers to let them
to choose from rather than force them into buying products or services unwanted.
Also resulting from the reforms, examining and approving procedures for
bodies of foreigners or Chinese from other part of the country shall be charge
free, the participants suggested.
