A post on an online site in China asking people to keep their father's ashes in a delivery locker is causing outrage.

According to Chinese media such as Hualongmang and Tencent News, a man posted online that he had no money to bury his cremated father's ashes in a cemetery and no space to put them in a small house.

Afterwards, a female netizen gave 'advice' to keep it in the delivery locker. It has not been confirmed whether the man actually did so, but controversy is brewing.



Netizens can rent a delivery locker of one company for 55 yuan (about 10,000 won) per year. Isn't that a pretty reasonable price?" he insisted.

Recently, in the suburbs of major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, it is reported that at least 100,000 yuan (about 19 million won) is required to purchase a cemetery less than 1㎡.



Netizens shut down their Weibo account after criticism of these claims.

The delivery locker company may not store items that violate public order and culture, such as human or animal remains and animal carcasses, or may cause inconvenience in the lockerThe cost of renting a locker is also incorrect. We charge from 240 yuan to 420 yuan a year, depending on the size" countered.



Accordingly, the netizen is sorry for the misleading and malicious influence" was the last to close the account door.

There was an uproar online.

One person commented "It's unscrupulous to think like this", "An assertion that does not take into account the feelings of the deceased or the consumers who use the delivery locker "" is more miserable for a son who says he has nowhere to put his father's ashes" give a back reaction.
