Yeah, my family has a plot next to some pretty famous people from the past.
They are big on cremation there.

That’s pretty neat. I mean in that in the most respectful way possible. I heard
It’s tradition to pickup the bones of your loved ones with chop sticks and put them into a ceremonial urn right? I wouldn’t mind having that happen when I pass.

They usually cremate, then pick up the bones with huge chopsticks.
Put them in an urn and then put it in a box with everyone elses.
At least that is what my family does.
The headstone always gets updated.
I would like to go to the more rural side of Japan. And yes! While I was in Tokyo I saw a small lot crammed packed with graves! That’s pretty strange, I heard that you either rent a lot or bury them in your own property.
I have a couple rolls of film I have to develop from my trip and one them have a photo of the gravesite. Hopefully they turn out well.
