To make funeral concessions more accessible in Lyon (Rhône), the town hall wants to implement social pricing from next spring. This price, valid for all concession periods in the four municipal cemeteries, will be calculated based on family income.
€1,315 for a 30-year concession
As Laurent Bosetti, deputy mayor, explains at the microphone of France 3 Auvergne Rhône-Alpes three price brackets are considered: “In the intermediate category, we would be around €550. For modest incomes, we will apply a lower rate of €200, and for wealthier families, we will apply a higher rate of €200 more. » Currently, you have to pay €1,315 for a 30-year concession. A significant sum, attributable to the impossibility of expanding the cemeteries, due to land pressure, explain our colleagues.
This measure, which will represent a shortfall of €20,000 to €30,000 per year for the city, will be submitted to the municipal council for a vote on December 12.
