Features: Each thematic report in the "Compilation" studies the basic legal systems for the operation and management of funeral services in some countries. It includes representative civil law countries like Germany and France, as well as common law countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. It covers both Western countries with significant cultural differences from China and Japan, which share similar cultural and legal origins with China. Therefore, it is highly representative and valuable for reference. The results of the Foreign Funeral Regulations Research Project, including the publication of the book "Compilation of Foreign Funeral Regulations," not only fill a gap in China's funeral service theoretical research but also fill a gap in the foundational work of funeral service management in China. It not only provides positive inspirational guidance for the adjustment and revision of funeral regulations and policies but also holds certain positive significance for the professional education of the funeral service industry and the development of funeral services in China. Learning from the advanced, scientific, and reasonable aspects of foreign funeral regulations will help us avoid detours in legislative work and contribute to the development of China's legal system.
