Second, in this study we users of public enshrinement facilities accounted for 21.0% of total cremation number, and it was analyzed that the ratio increased at an annual average of 9.0%. Therefore, as the supply reaches its limit within 1 year in Suwon City and within 2 years in Seongnam City, policies to expand the supply of public enshrinement facilities in Suwon City and Seongnam City must be implemented urgently.
