Funeral reform is of great significance to every citizen.Whether for the improvement of reform effectiveness or basic po-litical and moral considerations,funeral reform needs to explain its legitimacy to citizens in order to win their inner recognition.This arti-cle argues for the legitimacy of the reform of the universal funeral system from the perspective of legal paternalism.Research has found that the current public power lacks persuasiveness in intervening in funeral activities based on economic benefits such as land conserva-tion,and there are deficiencies in the legal paternalistic argument for the legitimacy of public power.We should enhance the subjectivity of individuals and attach importance to the participation of citizens in the legislative process,in order to enhance the legitimacy of public power and promote the healthy development of the funeral rule of law.
