People are mortal, so some conscious citizens would like to purchase a plot in the cemetery. Thus, they would like to at least slightly facilitate the preparation of the funeral and the bitterness of irreparable loss.
No purchase, only right to use
It must be remembered that it is impossible to buy a place in a cemetery, that is, to pay money for it to obtain ownership, that is the law of the Russian Federation. You can get this site only for use, and unlimited, but not own it.
It turns out that theoretically - an abandoned grave can easily be transferred to another person when the maximum permissible period of desolation expires.
However, in Moscow, the city can dispose of this land at its own discretion, if it turns out that the site has been abandoned for a long time, nobody cares for the grave.
When the day of the funeral is scheduled, money is paid to the cashier's office. But they, too, are not a means of paying for ownership of a land plot; for a given sum of money, only the right to its unlimited use is acquired. The cost of use may include some additional services, for example, improvement of the territory adjacent to the grave, excavation of the grave on the eve of the day of the funeral, provision of a ritual elevator-singumator.
