| With the rapid change and urbanization of the society
as well as the increase of population, mortuary service
and the use of cemetery has become a vital social issue.

in a lack of cemetery. Thus, the improvement of mortuary
facilities and services has become the pressing task in
meeting the needs of the public. |
