Under the procedural supervision of the Podilskyi District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv, a 26-year-old employee of a private funeral service was served a notice of suspicion of repeatedly desecrating an urn with the ashes of the deceased (Part 1, 3 Art. 297 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

Recall
In March, urns with ashes were found on Syretska Street in Kyiv. The relatives of the deceased ordered cremation through a private funeral service, which, after the procedure, transferred the ashes from the large urns of the crematorium to smaller urns provided by the families. Since not all of the ashes could fit, the remains had to be disposed of. However, the funeral service worker threw 36 urns, 20 of which contained ashes, into a vacant lot.
