I will check things that are difficult to ask a temple on your behalf
Free grave closure consultation now available (limited to the first 5 people)
This may be sudden, but have you ever had an experience like this?
When I returned to my parents' home for Obon, I stood in front of the grave thinking, 'What will happen to this grave in the future?' but I couldn't do anything.
You are concerned, but you just can't seem to take action. I launched this project for people like you.
Do you have any of these concerns?
I am worried about my parents' grave.
However,
It is difficult to call the temple
I don't know what to ask
I don't know how much it will cost
I haven't been able to discuss it with my family yet
Have you been putting it off for reasons like these?
Actually, 'knowing' comes before 'deciding'
The most important thing about closing a grave is not 'deciding to close the grave right now'.
First,
know the current state of the grave
.
You feel anxious because you try to act without knowing the current situation. Once you know the current situation, the next step will become clear.
We are conducting a [Free Grave Closure Consultation]
1. Confirmation with the temple or cemetery (on your behalf)
On your behalf, we will confirm the following details.
Management status (current administrator and management fee status)
Status of perpetual usage fees
Feasibility of relocation of remains
Necessary procedures and flow
Presence and estimate of temple withdrawal fees
Future schedule expectations
* We will confirm this after obtaining your prior consent.
* We will handle all communication and coordination with the temple.
2. Organizing the current situation
Based on the current state of the grave, we will organize the following:
What options are available
What problems are likely to occur in the future
What needs to be done now
3. Delivery as a report
We will summarize the confirmed information in an easy-to-understand manner and provide it to you. You can also use it as reference material for discussions with your family.
What you can gain from the hearing
Your concerns will be organized
You can break free from the state of 'not knowing what the problem is.' You can organize everything you were concerned about at once.
You can feel at ease by understanding the current situation
Regardless of whether you decide to close the grave or not, just knowing the current situation will make you feel more at ease.
Stay calm even in unexpected situations
Even when sudden situations such as inheritance, nursing care, or moving into a facility occur, if you understand the current situation, you can act without panicking.
Discuss calmly with your family
"Whether or not to close a grave" is a topic that easily becomes emotional. If you have objective materials, you can discuss it calmly.
Expand your options
In addition to closing a grave, there are various options such as:
Succession (passing it on to the next generation)
Perpetual memorial service
Tree burial
Relocation (moving to another location)
It is important to first know what your options are.
Recommended for people like this
✅ Your family grave is far away
✅ You don't want to burden your children
✅ You are worried about whether to close your grave
✅ You have no or little connection with a temple
✅ You don't know where to start
✅ You want to discuss it with your spouse or siblings
Why is it free?
I have held end-of-life planning seminars in the past, and many of the participants say,
"I'm concerned about it, but I don't know who to consult."
they say.
When it comes to graves, there is too much information online, which is confusing, and calling a temple directly can be intimidating.
Also, many people are worried that if they consult a grave-closing business, they will be pressured into a sale.
So this time,
“I want to create a consultation service to first understand the current situation.”
With this in mind, I have decided to conduct free grave-closing hearings.
