Burial prices in Tehran have skyrocketed by up to 50% following the approval of new tariffs by the Tehran City Council, as reported by the Iranian newspaper Donya-ye Eqtesad. Families are now required to pay 9.75 million rials for the transportation of deceased loved ones over a distance of 10 kilometers. This increase does not cover additional costs such as ritual washing, shrouds, cold storage, and gravestone installation. Furthermore, the cost of renting essential funeral items, including canopies and chairs, has surged by 30-50%. The report emphasizes the deteriorating living conditions in Tehran, where families are struggling with the high cost of living, making even death a financial burden. Behesht-e Zahra cemetery, known for housing the graves of executed dissidents and recent protest victims, has also faced issues with vandalism of gravesites, raising concerns about the regime's efforts to erase evidence of its actions during the protests.
