Abstract

Korea, which has changed from burial-oriented culture to cremation culture due to the increase of cremation rate, preferred charnel: however, we have adopted the new processing method of cremated remains, 'natural burial' because of deterioration of charnel facility and the problems with imposed urns. Ashes are absolutely required due to the inefficient use of territory for charnel and natural burial and natural environment pollution, but this is out of legislative system in reality. This study will hold an investigation research on ashes that handles cremated remains which is not mentioned in 'Act on Funeral Services, Etc.' as well as investigate the present-condition of 'facilities for scattering cremated ashes,' as prescribed by law. As a result, there were 42 public crematoriums with a place for scattering cremated ashes, and the name of 40 of them were hill of grave. We conducted a survey to see if the workers at public cremation facilities in the Seoul metropolitan area knew about hill of grave, 'the facilities for scattering cremated ashes.' The result showed 95.9% knew about hill of grave and 88.2% answered some improvement was partially needed. Therefore, this study is to propose improvement measures for the scattering ashes facilities of public crematoriums based on the results of research and present investigation.

화장률의 증가로 매장중심에서 화장중심의 문화로 바뀐 우리나라는 봉안을 선호하였으나 봉안시설의 사후 처리문제 등으로 화장한 유골의 새로운 처리 방법인 '자연장 제도'를 도입했다. 화장이후 봉안과 자연장 방법 이외의 산골도 요구되고 있으나 현실까지는 법제화되어 있지 않다. 본 연구는 화장한 유골을 처리하는 산골에 대한 문헌고찰을 장사등에관한 법률에서 정한 '화장한 유골을 뿌리는 시설'에 대해 현황 조사하였다. 조사 결과 화장한 유골을 뿌리는 시설은 공설화장시설 58개소 중 총 42개소가 있었는데 그중 40개소 시설의 명칭이 유택동산이었다. 수도권 공설화장시설 종사자에게 '화장한 유골을 뿌리는 시설'인 산골시설에 대해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석결과 95.9%가 산골시설을 알고 있다고 했으며 88.2%는 개선할 부분이 있다고 답하였다. 본 연구는 현황조사와 분석결과를 토대로 산골의 법제화와 산골시설의 다양화 및 현대화 등 개선방안을 제언하고 있다.
