    Introducing a method of ash storage that brings great fortune and prosperity to future generations.

    Cremated remains are the ashes produced after biological incineration. Following cremation, people typically place the ashes in an urn and inter them in a cemetery as a form of remembrance. Some also keep the urn at home for veneration, expressing their grief; however, traditional storage methods prioritize containment, which is both inconvenient to carry and prone to tipping over. Since the primary component of cremated ashes is phosphate, they readily absorb moisture, and once hydrated, they become an ideal nutrient source for bacteria. Consequently, those who keep urns at home face stringent requirements, and such urns tend to be quite expensive. Moreover, most existing artisanal urns exposed to the air over time are susceptible to cracking, compromising their long-term preservation.

    Nan County’s funeral reform enhances the “final garden of life”

    Newly paved cement roads stretch clean and tidy, rows of lush osmanthus trees sway gently in the breeze, and marble tombs stand solemn and dignified… On July 8, at the Yugge Ecological Cemetery in Huage Town, Nan County, a white flower and a black mourning ribbon, presided over by village officials, marked a funeral that was simple yet dignified, minimalist yet deeply moving. Just one row away from the cemetery lies the former burial ground; everyone knows which environment is better and which method of interment is more civilized. Focused on building a funeral system that benefits the people, is environmentally friendly, and promotes cultural civility, Nan County has comprehensively advanced cremation, rectified scattered and disorderly burials, and worked to address the “bottlenecks” and persistent problems that have long hindered the development of rural civility at the grassroots level.
