Summary/Abstract: Since every human being owes a death, each of us should be capable to plan his own funeral in order to secure his right to a peaceful rest. That’s why this article attempts, on one hand, to highlight certain aspects of the legal status of burial plots and, on the other hand, to examine the relation between the cremation and the right to a funeral religious service. In our view, all burial plots concessions should be granted only in perpetuity upon the signing of a concession contract which should mandatorily include a reasonable charge for the perpetual care of the burial site, avoiding in such way the inconveniences of dying without thoughtful heirs.
