My comment: Calm down. I do not know about Taiwan, but it is common in US
for a person, before death, to buy a plot in the cemetery, a coffin and
insurance to cover funeral cost. This is called preparing for rainy days, in
Chinese and American idioms. ("The definition of "rainy day" by www.m-w.com
: "a period of want or need <saving for a rainy day>."

(c) 童大焕, 殡仪回归公益,葬礼还给市场. 广州日报, Apr. 5, 2009.

("如骨灰盒、花圈、墓地等丧葬用品,必须全面开放市场。政府指导价或市场调节价,
远不如真正的市场竞争价。据报道,广州的墓地价格已经到了均价3万的程度。河南洛
阳推出了天价公墓,价格为当地房价的10倍。这一切都是墓地垄断的结果。")

My comment: Apparently free enterprise has not spread to every corner of
China.

(d) I cannot find 南方报业集团的资深编辑鄢烈山's article or blog.
