Question 24586 — death and death

Summary

Mr. Stanislas Guerini questions the Minister of the Interior about the funeral forest project, a burial site for biodegradable funeral urns, in the commune of Arbas (31). Following a meeting at the sub-prefecture of Saint-Gaudens on September 23, 2019 and a call from the sub-prefecture on October 31, 2019, this project adopted by the municipal council of the commune during the deliberation of February 15, 2019, after several years of study and consultations, is currently awaiting an opinion from the Ministry of the Interior. This project is virtuous in several respects. It responds to the saturation of cemeteries and is part of the trend in favor of cremation, the rate of which increased from 10% of deaths in 1994 to 36% in 2017 (Ipsos Institute). It is also an ecological project which allows the preservation of biodiversity by making a piece of the forest a place of protected contemplation. The delay in burials is painful for bereaved families and people at the end of their lives who have already placed orders. He would therefore like to know the reasons, legal or otherwise, which are delaying the first burials and obstructing the implementation of this project.
