Question 13112 — death and death

Summary

Mr. Saïd Ahamada draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the payment of transport and accommodation costs for deceased persons. Under the terms of article R. 2223-79 of the general code of local authorities (CGCT), the costs resulting from transport to the funeral room (for establishments not subject to the obligation to have such a room), as well as the accommodation costs, are taken into account. borne by the public or private establishment, only when the transfer was made at the request of the director of the establishment. Consequently, without intervention from the director of the establishment, the families of deceased people must cover these costs. These families, weakened by the loss of a loved one, are often distraught. Furthermore, when this relative happened to be the source of family resources, they were most of the time find themselves faced with the difficulty of assuming such a financial burden. This problem concerns everyone, and many fellow citizens therefore question the relevance of the rule currently in force with regard to the principle of justice. Indeed, the regime applicable to mortuary treatments differs depending on the location but also the nature of the death. However, each French person should have the right to benefit, until his burial, the protection granted to him during his lifetime as well as equal access to public services. Given the social issues surrounding this regulatory provision, it could be reformed in order to provide for the financial coverage of costs resulting from the transport and stay of a deceased person, by the establishment where the death took place, and which are not subject to the obligation to have at least a mortuary chamber. These provisions could also apply in the context of home hospitalizations. Also, he would like to know the Government's position regarding possible modifications, strongly anticipated by the families of deceased people, of article R. 2223-79 of the CGCT.
