The Tehran City Council set the price of a grave in Behesht Zahra at 15 million tomans
Members of the Tehran City Council approved the amount of 15 million tomans for the second and third tiers of graves in Behesht Zahra, while the price for one tier for the deceased remained free.
The head of the Health, Environment, and Urban Services Commission of the Tehran City Council stated that the proposed increase by the organization was 45% and in some cases more, which we did not accept in the commission. He said our proposal was a 38% increase in service fees, which does not include optional services provided by contractors that face a 45% increase.
Pirhadi emphasized that the cost on the day of burial, meaning the burial of the deceased on the day they pass away, is free, and they do not have to reserve the other two tiers and will incur no costs.
Mehdi Chamran, the head of the Tehran City Council, also stated that we should visit other cemeteries to see what the situation is like. He added that we proposed not charging for one tier. Some wealthy individuals spend tens of millions on tombstones, yet we declared one tier free.
