Recently, a piece of information about "someone in Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province buried the deceased with a real Mercedes-Benz car" went viral. Luo Yonghao said: "From a legal perspective, the new regulations in 2026 have a rigid red line for the area of cemeteries. A single grave shall not exceed 0.5 square meters, and a double grave shall not exceed 0.8 square meters. Although there are some small differences in various places, they basically fluctuate up and down in this range."
Luo Yonghao emphasized that any "luxury tomb" that exceeds this standard risks being forcibly demolished and modified during compliance inspections.
A video posted online showed multiple people using excavators to dig a huge pit near a tombstone.
They lifted a black Mercedes-Benz S450L with the license plate "Liao*8888*", then slowly lowered it into the pit, filled it with soil, and buried the Mercedes-Benz in it.
According to the Liaoyang Civil Affairs Bureau today, it has received clues that a "real Mercedes-Benz was buried" and is investigating and verifying the relevant situation.
