The Poles about Burial Practices
A half of Poles (49%) accept cremation practices. Since 1994 permission for cremation has become more common (increase by 12%). In November 2012 proportion of interviewees accepting burial of funerary urns was higher than proportion of those who believed that deceased should be buried in a coffin (37%). At the same time proportion of interviewees not having an opinion on that issue increased by 6 points (to 14%).
The data comes from the surveys “Current Problems and Events” conducted in years 1994–2012.
