穷人死不起?新西兰奥克兰一场葬礼要花5000纽币

2017-08-14 11:38:41   中国青年网

中新网8月14日电 新西兰《中文先驱报》近日刊文称,新西兰奥克兰日前再次调高墓地和丧葬服务收费,一场一般标准的葬礼要花费超过5000纽币。新西兰殡葬师协会首席执行官Katrina Shanks担心,这样发展下去,只会让穷人愈发“死不起”,或者被迫选择火葬。

文章摘编如下:

在新西兰奥克兰安居不易。经历了过去几年的好光景后,奥克兰房价终于停下疯涨的步伐。然而,地税涨价了——过去两周,奥克兰的业主们陆续收到市议会的地税收费通知。从今年7月1日开始,奥克兰市议会将物业地税的收取标准平均上调2.5%。

也是在7月1日,奥克兰市议会还悄悄调高了另一项事关民生的服务价格——丧葬和墓地。奥克兰市议会上一次对墓地和丧葬服务大规模涨价,仅仅在两年前。

涨价的不止房子

在奥克兰西区的Great North Road旁,建有南半球最大的墓地Waikumete墓地。在上月公布的最新价目表上,单人的下葬费用已经上涨到1108纽币,比去年又上涨了16纽币,比5年前贵了70纽币。

然而,更昂贵的费用还在后头——墓地的使用。在Waikumete墓地,带有教堂景色的一般墓穴费用是4133纽币,比去年又涨了近百纽币。奥克兰另一块主要的墓地位于南区Papatoetoe,其收费与Waikumete相近——一般墓地的价格同样是4133纽币。

这就意味着,一场一般标准的葬礼要花费超过5000纽币。如果葬礼在周末举行,加收420纽币;如果是在公共假日举行,加收980纽币;如果是在下午3点半之后举行,加收420纽币……如果算上其他服务费用,以及聘请专业丧葬公司,总花费直逼五位数。

新西兰殡葬师协会首席执行官Katrina Shanks担心,要在不到一周时间内筹措5000纽币的丧葬费用,对低收入家庭来说近乎不可能。这样发展下去,只会让穷人愈发“死不起”,或者被迫选择火葬——在奥克兰,70%的家庭还是首选土葬。

这并不是Shanks第一次发出这样的警告。就在两年前,奥克兰市议会已经对丧葬费用进行了一次大规模的涨价。2015年7月的新价目表,将墓穴的费用平均上调22%,骨灰的埋藏费用平均上涨14%,下葬的费用更是以132%的幅度上涨。

目前奥克兰市议会管理了53座墓地,其中23座因为历史久远和容量有限,已经处于“闭门谢客”的状态。仍在运营的30座墓地,只有北岸、西区和南区的3座大型公墓有常驻工作人员,其他墓地的维护工作都已经外包。
