Abstract

The need for rational use of land resources within urban development suggests the possibility of creating a necropolis, an alternative to the traditional forms of existing cemeteries (in Khabarovsk), which is a memorial complex “Garden of Memories”. Considering the possibility of germination of the root part of the plant component in a biodegradable cremation urn, this proposal can be considered not only as economically rational, saving the space of the city and the finances of the population, but also aimed at improving the sanitary and aesthetic condition of the territory, taking into account religious practices that can psychologically compensate complex emotional states of citizens.
