We offer funeral consultations that are easy for foreign family members to understand.

When saying goodbye to a loved one, many decisions must be made amidst grief. For foreigners and their families unfamiliar with Japanese funeral customs, not only the language but also the procedures and necessary confirmations can be confusing, leading to significant anxiety. First and foremost, it's important not to leave anything unclear, but to organize the family's situation and wishes one by one.

What I want to convey first, regardless of location

When planning a funeral in Saitama City, Kawagoe City, Ageo City, Kasukabe City, or Koshigaya City, there's no need to rush into deciding on a format. Consider how you want to say goodbye to the deceased, who you think will attend, and what's important to your family. If you're unsure about explaining things in Japanese, don't hesitate to communicate what you need clarification on in a way they can understand, or that you need time to discuss it with your family. This will bring peace of mind.

Calmly consider the option of a family funeral.

A family funeral is a ceremony primarily attended by close relatives. The scope of attendees and the flow of the ceremony vary depending on the family's wishes. Some families may prefer a quiet, intimate gathering, while others may want to carefully consider how to inform relatives who live far away. Rather than deciding on the number of attendees and the details beforehand, it's easier to clarify your wishes by discussing who you want to spend time with and how you want to spend that time.

Points to confirm regarding the process leading up to cremation

When preparing for cremation, there are several things to confirm, such as the schedule, transportation, and necessary procedures. Depending on the circumstances, it may not be possible for family members to gather immediately. In such cases, it is helpful to discuss the situation by separating what is currently known from the points that require time to confirm, so that you can consider them calmly. If you have any religious or cultural preferences, the first step is to clearly communicate what you hope for and what you find difficult.
