GRAVES in the martyr's cemetery park in eastern China's Shandong Province, which is not allowed for personal use, are on sale, Qilu evening newspaper reported yesterday.
Martyr's cemetery parks were built to commemorate individuals who have scarified their lives for China's reform and opening up and therefore cannot be occupied for other use, according to the Chinese law.
The new graves are approximately 1.14 square meters each, most of which have been booked or sold at prices much higher than graves elsewhere, the report said.
No relevant sales credentials were found in sales center, the newspaper found.
"We have credentials, but they are not available now," a worker in sales center said. "The sale is authorized by the Civil Affairs Bureau."
But the law is clear – no department or individual can bury bodies or build monuments for others but martyrs.
