President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov signed amendments to the Law «On Burial and Funeral Services.» According to the amendments, crematoriums in Kyrgyzstan may only be used for the sanitary thermal destruction of biological objects resulting from medical activities. However, the law explicitly prohibits the use of such facilities for incinerating the bodies of deceased people, as well as aborted and stillborn fetuses. Provisions on cremation of the deceased, urns containing ashes, columbaria, and walls of mourning are excluded from the law. Specialized facilities for the destruction of medical biological objects may be built using funds from the national and local budgets, as well as private companies.
