16 May 2018, Wednesday

On May 16, 2018 members of the committee of State Couicil of the Republic of Tatarstan on the state construction and local government under the chairmanship of Albert Khabibulin have discussed the first question the course of implementation of the legislation on local government regarding the organization of funeral services. The vice-chairman of the State Council Rimma Ratnikova has taken part in work of the meeting.

Information on this question was provided by the deputy minister of the land and property of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustem Merzakreev, the Deputy Minister of Justice of the Republic of Tatarstan Mukharryam Ibyatov, the deputy executive secretary – the chief of legal management Sergey Stolyarov.

It is about a problem which municipalities and local governments had faced. It is the transfer of the lands allocated under cemeteries from category of agricultural lands to category of industrial lands provided by the legislation. In Tatarstan today in general a little more than 3 thousand cemeteries. From them 1024 cemeteries are located on agricultural lands, on lands of the industry – 17, on lands of settlements – 1 580, on lands of especially protected territories and objects – 37, on lands which category isn't established – 386, on lands of forest fund – 19.

Documents have to be sent to the Ministry of land and property of the Republic of Tatarstan, however today the corresponding petitions have arrived only from five municipal districts of the republic (Buinsky, Novosheshminsky, Cheremshansky, Drozhzhanovsky, Sabinsky municipal districts). However the Cabinet of the Republic of Tatarstan has adopted only two resolutions about change of category of the land plots under cemeteries in Buinsky and Sabinsky municipal districts. Other packages of documents are returned to municipal districts on completion.

To process documents for more than 1 000 land plots (generally it is the lands which aren't registered in state cadastre) it is necessary to carry out, first of all, cadastral works on land surveying, formation and statement on the cadastral registration of the land plots provided under placement of cemeteries; to make changes to documents of territorial planning regarding placement of cemeteries; to make a transfer of category of the land plot to lands of the industry and other special purpose.

Besides, it isn't allowed to include the land plot provided under the cemetery in borders of the settlement.

Speakers have noted that along with this question, there are also other problems connected, including with the organization of funeral business. The existing order demands creation in one and all municipalities, even in rural settlements – special services on rendering funeral services. As Sergey Stolyarov considers, it is necessary to create such services where it is economically expedient, besides it is necessary to establish the status of these services legislatively. He was supported by Mukharryam Ibyatov who has reported that special agreements are concluded, and citizens in areas are informed on an order and the location of providing funeral services.
