“The Challenges of Running a Funeral Business in Taiwan: Regulations, Fines, and Difficult Certification Exams”

2023-04-23 22:07:34

The Ministry of the Interior stipulates that a certain-scale funeral business should have a full-time ceremonial master, and the capital of more than 1 million must have one person, and some businesses have reduced their capital in response; there are also small-scale business owners who personally test their licenses. It’s harder than the National Taiwan University exam.” The funeral office sent a letter to the association, and 10 operators were fined 100,000 yuan because they did not clearly inform the penalty improvement period. The funeral service responds and will report to the Ministry of Labor and strengthen publicity.

According to Article 45 of the Ministry of the Interior’s Funeral Management Regulations, at least 1 to 7 or more ceremonial masters should be set up if the capital amount ranges from 1 million to 100 million yuan. If there is a violation, a fine ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 yuan will be imposed. At present, the Beishi Funeral Industry Association has about 350 registered members, and 69 companies meet this scale. Among them, the largest business has a capital of 4.2 billion, but most of them are small-scale businesses.

Many funeral business operators expressed their feelings to Councilor Wang Zhibing, saying that the time for the improvement of the punishment of the funeral home was “unexplained”, and it was clearly informed that there were five stages for the establishment of etiquette regulations, such as registering before the end of April in 2011, stating opinions for underemployed workers before the end of May in 2011, and then It was completed at the end of June, but the operator was fined even though improvements were made before the end of June. It is questioned that the funeral department did not clearly inform the start and end dates of the punishment, which made the punishment unreasonable.

In addition, there are more industry practitioners complaining that the test questions for the certificate of etiquette masters are outdated and more difficult than the National Taiwan University exam. The registration fee doesn’t matter, and there are some people who failed in the exam 7 times in a row.

Wang Zhibing said that it is heard that there are many wealthy businessmen who spend money to invite college students to take the exam and rent head certificates to deal with it.

Zhang Shichang, Director of Funeral and Interment Directors, said that some business owners were fined and refused to accept the punishment to appeal, and they will publicize more carefully about similar punishments in the future; as for the questioning of the second-level technician certificate examination questions, it is inappropriate. This certificate is sponsored by the Labor Development Department of the Ministry of Labor. In line with the changing environment of the times, the research unit adjusts the content of the examination questions to conform to the situation of modern etiquette services.
