Funeral homes in China’s major cities are charging exorbitant fees for services their clients don’t know about, prompting some in Beijing to expose this “unscrupulous” practice to the media.
A Beijing resident surnamed Deng (pseudonym) told Chinese state media that his wife passed away in mid-February. Her body was kept in the mortuary of the Third Hospital of Peking University for two and half days before the cremation. Deng and his family were shocked when they received the bill from the hospital.
