1985 compulsory cremation began in some areas, and 1997 was fully implemented. (Except for a few people with special reasons) The Regulations on Funeral Management was officially implemented, and cremation began to be carried out nationwide. With the rapid increase of population in China, the scarcity of land, especially cultivated land, has gradually become the main reason for prohibiting burial. However, before 1985 the State Council promulgated the Interim Provisions on Funeral Management, the implementation of cremation was not smooth, especially in rural areas. Many areas do not have the conditions to establish cremation plants. Many farmers are cremated first and then buried in coffins. Some people waste money instead of saving costs.

To sum up: the documents required for normal death cremation, the triple death certificate issued by the hospital, the ID card or household registration book of the deceased at the bottom, and the ID card or household registration book of the direct manager.
