Wow. They burn your body. Do you have to pay after your dead or are the payments only before you die?
Paying after death is a bit problematic, not everybody sets up a trust to handle that. So it's ususally your family that does (or doesn't) pay the additional rent for the following 5-10 years after your initial time is up.
But the principle is simple, pay rent and your body will stay in place, stop paying rent and you have to go (dead or alive
). Seems a fair principle to me.
Perpetual schemes don't exist, or maybe to be more accurate, no longer exist. They existed in the past but new legislation put an end to that (and an end to the perpetuity).
Makes a lot of sense to me, why keep a grave of someone who died 100 years ago and nobody knows anymore, and if it's someone who's decendents still want to keep the grave they will have to pay the rent.
