Description
In the French city of Lyon, resting in peace in municipal cemeteries will no longer be a luxury. In December, the city intends to introduce an unprecedented ‘social pricing system’ based on family income, enabling the most modest members of society to acquire a burial plot at a lower cost. ‘The idea for us has been to integrate the notion of social justice into our funeral policy, to ensure that death is not an additional vector of social inequality’, explains Laurent Bosetti, the Green deputy mayor in charge of funeral policy.
