The category of close relatives who, according to current norms and rules of legislation, can legally be buried at the site of the old burial place includes certain categories of people. People who directly belong to the category of close relatives in this matter: parents, grandparents, sisters and brothers, and everyone must be directly related to the same family. This point is quite significant and must be taken as seriously and responsibly as possible, otherwise the burial will not be recognized according to the laws of our country as correctly performed based on the norms and rules of the current legislation.
Kinship burial, its conditions.
- Burial in a related grave is carried out in any cemeteries (it does not matter whether they are closed or open).
- Family burial is carried out at the request/will of the deceased or members of his family (clause 2 of article 7 of Federal Law N8 of 01/12/1996).
- Written permission from cemetery management is required. It is issued upon application accompanied by the necessary documents.
- You cannot be denied a family burial if you have all the documents and comply with the sanitary deadlines.
Funeral arrangements
Nowhere to bury
There is a catastrophic shortage of burial places in the Omsk region. Local authorities said the cemeteries were overcrowded. In addition, the state organization involved in funerals owes the state about 17 million rubles. The special services plant not only deals with burials, but is also responsible for the condition of local cemeteries.
Last year, due to a conflict with local authorities, this organization reduced its income by 24%. It is worth noting that the KSU has income from the burials of honorary citizens. But it’s worth entering about 35 million rubles into the expense line. land tax, which the organization pays in full. What will happen to the CSU in the future is not yet known, since officials are resolving these issues first.
What documents are needed for a related burial?
- Stamp death certificate.
- Marriage or birth certificates (this serves as confirmation of the relationship of the person already buried with the person who has just died).
- The passport of the person responsible for the grave, or a notarized power of attorney and a passport of a trusted person (this can be a ritual agent to whom you have entrusted the organization of funeral events).
- Certificate for the grave.
- Agreement for the provision of funeral services and cash receipt: issued by the funeral service to which you entrusted the organization of the burial
- Certificate from the crematorium (for burial with an urn in the ground).
When collecting documents for a related burial, it is important to consider:
- When burying the urn, you must provide a certificate of cremation (issued by the crematorium).
- If the deceased was in charge of the grave and was a close relative of the person buried, then a passport of the relative who organized the funeral will be needed.
How many people can you bury?
Regarding this issue, it relates more to moral issues. There are certain prescribed norms, but it happens like in ancient times, when several people could be buried in one grave. At this time, how many people can be buried in one grave is clearly stated in legislative documents.
If relatives want to carry out a re-burial, then for this they need to follow a certain procedure:
- Initially, you should write an application addressed to the cemetery administrator.
- Next, submit the following list of documents: your passport, burial certificate, death certificate of the person you want to bury, documents that confirm your relationship with the person buried earlier in this grave.
- After receiving permission, you must also show an application agreement on paid funeral services.

Is it possible to bury relatives in the same grave?
The documents indicate that re-burial is allowed for close relatives. These include: brothers, sisters, father, mother, grandparents of the same family. The relatives of the person who is already buried there can arrange the burial. It is he who can terminate an illegal burial contract. He can also decide who can be buried in a given grave.
Regarding how many people can be buried in one grave, this is an individual decision. It is necessary to remember that there is also no need to cross a certain line of common sense and create mass graves. First of all, respect the feelings of the deceased and think about how they would feel with this or that “neighbor”.
Visit the graves of your relatives and show respect to them: clean the grave and stay near it for a while. Think about a person's life. No one knows how much is allotted to anyone in this world. So appreciate every moment.
The Lord is always with you!
Rules for related burials.
When burying in a related grave, you should take into account the rules for this type of burial:
- A family burial can be done with an urn in the ground or burial with a coffin.
- Only close relatives are buried in a family grave: spouse, parents, children, sister, brother, grandfather, grandmother of the deceased (More details about what documents are needed to confirm the relationship are described below). If the deceased was in a different degree of relationship, then you will be denied a related burial.
- Burial with a coffin can be carried out only after the expiration of the sanitary period after the last burial with a coffin in this grave - 15 years for Moscow, 20 years for the Moscow region. You need to remember this, this is a significant limitation!
- After submitting the required package of documents, the cemetery administration assesses the possibility of holding a funeral at the specified site, draws up a burial scheme and a list of work to prepare the site.
- An assessment of the readiness of the grave site for re-burial is carried out by necropolis employees.
- A family burial is carried out in the same way as any other burial. Relatives of the deceased are entitled to the same social compensation as for any other funeral. There is no additional charge for related burials.
What follows from this?
From this it is necessary to understand such an important fact that there must be at least 2 reasons (they are additional) or close relatives (including the spouse) must be buried in this cemetery, that is, raise the question of burial in a connected tomb or be a free site.
According to experts, interpreting these rules “without choice” is illegal! Many people have a legitimate question: How long after can I be buried in the place of the old grave? Having clarified the issue of who regulates burials, it is possible to obtain the necessary information to carry out burial in full compliance with the norms and regulations of legislation in force in the country.
Thus, in Article 9 of Law 2, which also describes the situation of execution of the will, there are additional problems, difficulties and restrictions; this definitely contradicts the norm of the Federal Law in force in the country. Introduces a number of additional rules, requirements and conditions:
This is carried out only for citizens of the Russian Federation living in the country (a non-resident cannot claim the opportunity to carry out burial in a certain burial place where the tombs of his legally close relatives are located);
The sector associated with free space ensures burial in the presence of expression and with sanitary and other requirements. Those. The “alternative”, which is set out in Federal Law 1, has simply “disappeared”. And there was an additional condition, for example, such as: sanitary rules and regulations, as well as other requirements. Before you begin the burial, you will need to understand what documents are issued by the State Unitary Enterprise Ritual.
You should also notice that we are talking about a close relative and a close relative. These concepts are also noted by the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
Reburial
Repeated burial is burial in a related grave in which one or more burials have already taken place. An important question is re-burial, after how many years it is allowed to take place, after what sanitary period has expired. For Moscow, re-interment in one grave is possible after 15 years, for the Moscow region - after 20 years. Since re-burial can be a coffin or an urn with ashes, it is important to know that the sanitary period for re-burial applies only to burial with a coffin, while the urn can be buried in a related grave at any time - for this method of burial there are no restrictions on the sanitary period.
Tariff for the next world

For many years, city authorities spoke about the problem of burial places only in a funereal mood.
Has the situation changed with the annexation of new territories to Moscow? With this question, the “hotline” of the general director of the State Unitary Enterprise “Ritual” Alexander Egorov began, who answered many other questions from RG readers.
Ivan Semenishchev:
Hello, Alexander Viktorovich!
Which cemeteries now allow burials in new plots? Is it possible to choose from them, or which one will be offered - just agree to it, otherwise you will have to wait in line for a week? Alexander Egorov:
Perepechinskoye and Domodedovo cemeteries are now open for free burials (not in relative graves). Relatives and friends have the right to choose what is most suitable. In this case, you won’t have to wait in line. I want to reassure Muscovites: there is no shortage of land for burials. About 300 people die every day in Moscow. Almost 70% of them find their final rest in family graves. Another part is repatriated outside the city, mainly to the Moscow region. As a result, approximately 30 new places are required per day. There is a reserve for several years.

The authorities of the capital and Moscow region agreed that in the coming years the region will allocate 350 hectares to the city for necropolises. Last year, the issue of annexing 63 hectares of land to the Domodedovo cemetery was resolved. Moscow also took ownership of 25 hectares at the Perepechinskoye cemetery. Design and construction work began there. Plots of 1-2 hectares will be introduced gradually. And in a few months, a new cemetery of 30 hectares will open in Zelenograd - Alabushevskoye. There is a morgue, a farewell hall, a funeral products store, and all funeral services will be provided. I hope they will build a temple.
For benefits - to the Pension Fund
Sergey Novikov:
I heard that the rules for processing benefits for the funeral of a pensioner have changed.
What's new? Egorov:
The new procedure for obtaining benefits came into effect on January 1. This is provided for by the Federal Law “On Burial and Funeral Affairs”. Now the relatives of a deceased pensioner who was not working on the day of death, or those who took upon themselves the responsibility of burying him, must apply for social benefits to the territorial division of the Pension Fund in which the deceased was registered and received a pension. Immediately take with you a document proving your identity, the original death certificate (Form No. 33) and the original death certificate issued by the registry office, as well as a work book or other documents confirming the fact that the deceased was unemployed on the day of death.
Money can be received through post offices or, if you wish, it will be transferred to your bank account.
Novikov:
They say the size of this benefit has changed?
Egorov:
4515.6 rubles are transferred from the federal budget, 11 thousand from the Moscow budget. But the amount paid for the burial of participants in the Great Patriotic War may actually increase this year in Moscow - from 15 thousand to 38 thousand rubles. I will add that when burying veterans, a 10 percent discount is established on services such as digging a grave, a set of works on its arrangement on the site, providing a registration plate with an inscription and a niche for installing an urn with ashes in the open columbarium of Kuntsevsky, Troekurovsky, Nikolo-Arkhangelsky and other cemeteries.
Novikov:
Can I order a free burial instead of a benefit?
Egorov:
Yes, the service of free burial of the deceased can be arranged at the regional department of social protection of the population.
Sofia Blinova:
My father is disabled during the Great Patriotic War, seriously ill.
In the event of his death, will a free plot be allocated for his burial and do we have the right to choose a cemetery? Which cemeteries have memorial plots for participants of the Great Patriotic War? What do you need to do to get a place on them? Egorov:
There are memorial plots at the Perepechinskoye and Domodedovo cemeteries. And if the question arises about burial in a closed cemetery, you should apply for permission from the Moscow Department of Trade and Services at the address: Tverskaya, 19.
Show me your price list!
Lyubov Maksimova:
As soon as my husband died, I called an ambulance.
The doctors then called the police. After that, the local police officer came to me along with a ritual agent. And he began to impose his services. I said that I was not ready to talk about the funeral yet. Then the policeman drew up some kind of protocol and said that if I did not enter into an agreement with this agent, he would send my husband’s body to the judicial morgue. So the police are working in collusion with the agents? Egorov:
Unfortunately, information about the deceased is traded by representatives of almost all services that have access to it. So uninvited agents appear on the doorstep. If you encounter a similar situation, call the higher organization of the person who is trying to blackmail you. If it is a policeman - to the internal security service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if an agent - to the Moscow Department of Trade and Services. I recommend that residents do not enter into an agreement with the first agent who knocks on the door, but rather choose who to invite. Phone numbers of organizations can be found in social security authorities, on the Internet, or call our dispatch center, which operates around the clock. City authorities have long been trying to fight those who sell information about the dead. A new procedure for certifying agents is currently being developed. I hope that when it is introduced, there will be fewer people who work dishonestly.
No contract required
Svetlana Druzhina :
In which Moscow cemeteries can you bury an urn with ashes in a columbarium?
Egorov:
There are 23 such necropolises in total. Among them are Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye, Donskoye, Ostankinskoye, Alekseevskoye, Vagankovskoye cemeteries. The full list can be found on the website: mosritual.ru. You can bury an urn in an existing grave in all cemeteries. In recent years, 49% of the dead in Moscow have been cremated. As an Orthodox Christian, I cannot advertise this method of burial. But at the same time, many young, successful, wealthy Muscovites choose cremation, considering this burial method to be more technologically advanced and requiring less hassle.
Vladimir Olshanin:
My grandfather bequeathed to bury the urn with ashes in his homeland in the Tula region.
But at the crematorium they demanded from me a paid contract for the burial of the urn. Why would I pay for services that I don't need? Egorov:
Agree. I advise you to write a statement addressed to the director of the crematorium outlining the situation, and they are obliged to give you an urn without any agreement for its burial.
Why are they demanding? So that there are no violations of sanitary standards, so that people do not store urns in their country house, balcony, or scatter ashes wherever they want. By law, scattering ashes is allowed only in specially designated areas. But there are none in the capital and Moscow region yet.
Nikolai Pechenkin:
I looked after the grave of my teacher.
His wife, who had the passport for the burial, died. There are no other close relatives. Can I become responsible for this grave? Egorov:
Yes. Contact the cemetery administration.
Igor Moiseev:
After how many years can re-burial be carried out?
And where should I go to get permission to do this ahead of schedule? Egorov:
According to the decree of the Moscow government, re-burial can be carried out after 15 years. If there is a need to do this ahead of schedule, contact the Rospotrebnadzor authorities. If experts determine that the soil is in good condition, you will be issued a permit.

Why is reburial necessary?
According to religious canons, it is not customary to disturb a buried person. It is believed that a cemetery is a place where the deceased found eternal peace. But sometimes it happens that this order has to be broken. For example, in Soviet times, during the construction of reservoirs, cities, towns and villages, as well as cemeteries located near them, were flooded. Relatives could rebury the ashes of their ancestors in other graveyards located outside the flood zone. In such cases, the state provided a place in a nearby cemetery, transport for transportation and a new coffin. People moved to a new place of residence themselves and took their deceased ancestors with them.
Nowadays, reburial most often occurs for two reasons: by a court decision or at the personal request of relatives. Sometimes it is necessary to re-establish the identity of the buried person, in other cases new circumstances of the criminal case are revealed that require exhumation. Identification or additional forensic medical examination is carried out at the request of law enforcement agencies. Relatives of the deceased can rebury a loved one if the person’s desire to bury him in a certain place was not fulfilled, or if a move occurs, as a result of which the grave remains abandoned.
