IN THE JAPANESE
TRADITION For the most part, Japanese funeral services are held according to Buddhist tradition, which calls for the body to be cremated. After the funeral ceremony, an urn containing the ashes is placed on an altar at the family’s home, where it. remains for 35 days. During this time, incense sticks are burned around the clock and visitors come to the house to meet with the family. After the 35-day period is over, the urn is foully buried in a Buddhist cemetery. The Japanese visit their ancestors’ graves on many occasions, one of which is the Buddhist festival of Obon. During this time, memorial services are held for deceased ancestors, whose spirits are said to return to visit with relatives. No matter what your faith tradition, memorializing the dead is important as part of family life.
