hello.

Shimanami memory, which is familiar with the world's first completely harmless marine scattering.

Today, I would like to introduce "dried bones" , which is one of the memorial services when visiting graves.

“Dried bones” is a memorial service method in which the ashes are dried in the sun or in a dryer to prevent the remains from mold and corrosion.

The people of Ehime have a high awareness of memorial services, and I often see them visiting graves.

Everyone has probably visited a grave at least once, even if there is a difference in frequency.

I'm from Hokkaido, but I've lived in many prefectures, including Aomori, Iwate, Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa, Tottori, Osaka, Kagawa, and Ehime.

Among them, Ehime Prefecture is by far the most frequently seen scene of people visiting graves!

Even on weekdays, many people visit the cemetery, which may surprise you, but the cemetery has Always full of smiles.

The despair and sadness you feel when you lose a loved one is unimaginable.

However, as time passed and the opportunity to visit the grave faded, sorrow faded, and eventually Report on the recent situation to the deceased, talk about what happened during life, what kind of life, what kind of heroic story was there, etc. In other words, the cemetery is a place of rest that connects the family and the deceased.

The people of Ehime have a wonderful characteristic of loving to touch graves, temples, shrines and ruins, the Seto Inland Sea and beautiful mountains.

The inside of the urn is flooded! ?

There is something I would like to say to the people of Ehime Prefecture, who have such a wonderful citizenship.

In fact, don't be surprised to hear that almost all urns are filled with water.

This is due to the effects of vaporization heat due to the temperature difference between morning and night, and many of the graves built in the Showa period were buried underground, so water seeped out of the ground after rain or freezing entered. Almost all the urns are filled with water.

Water in the urn | What are the countermeasures and improvement methods?

The room where the urn is stored is called a sarcophagus, and I would like you to open the lid of the sarcophagus and see the urn once.

*Since the sarcophagus lid is heavy and may be caulked, please do it slowly and carefully with two or more people.

I'm going to introduce you to the improvement method by the frequency of going to the grave.

If you often have the opportunity to visit the grave, I think it would be good to just put a polyethylene-wrapped desiccant regularly.

If you visit a grave several times a year, we recommend placing a diatomaceous earth coaster at the bottom of the urn.

If you have the opportunity to visit the grave once every few years, we recommend making a 2mm hole in the bottom of the urn or moving it to a highly absorbent urn.

If you think of yourself

Due to our occupation, Shimanami Memory asks, "What would I think if I were you?"

Therefore, if the caulking is peeled off during burial or additional engraving, caulking and joint construction are done immediately.

If requested, we can also assist with drying the ashes and drying them in the sun.

It is impossible to sleep calmly if the home (grave) that I have come to the end of my life is leaking rain. If your body is wet, you will catch a cold.

Because I think.

Shimanami Memory mainly uses ocean scattering, but ocean scattering is the final memorial service method. Of course, we also support memorial services and grave construction, so many of the customers who request us still have graves. What is it?

No, all the remains will be lost, right?

Most of the time, we receive consultations from concerns such as.

Therefore, first of all, we start our proposal from the place where we greet the grave and the urn, in addition to greeting the deceased.

As a result, even if we do not ask for sea scattering, it is our mission and purpose to give greetings to the deceased and talk about the best method for memorial service.

Shimanami memory's ocean scattering flow

Washing the bones (Bones are washed one by one with water to purify and refresh the deceased.)

Dried bones (We will heat dry the bones at a temperature that does not change the substance.)

Powdered bones (Up to powders of 2 mm or less, we carefully powder bones without leaving a single piece.)

Bone cleansing (Completely separates and extracts the environmentally destructive components in the bones.)

Fractured bones (For customers who are sad to lose all of their remains, we offer a memorial service for them to display the broken bones next to the Buddhist altar.)

Scattered ashes (Scattered ashes in the sea of Miyakubo, Oshima, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, two nautical miles away.)

One-point advice for visiting graves

Today, when I visited a grave, I talked a little about dried bones , which is a method of holding a memorial service for the remains themselves.

Let's summarize again.

First, dry the ashes completely in the sun.

after that

・Those who visit graves about once a week: Periodically put desiccant in a poly-wrapped bag.

・Those who visit graves once every few months: Place a diatomaceous earth coaster at the bottom of the urn.

・Those who visit graves once every few years: Make a hole of about 2mm at the bottom of the urn. * Open the urn slowly with a non-impact electric drill under water so that it does not break.
・Those who do not often visit graves: Replace the urn with a dry-resistant material.

With the above four memorial service methods, you can perform "dry bone" memorial service not only for the grave but also for the ashes themselves.

The sarcophagus lid is heavy, and I'm sorry and worried if something happens to the remains or the urn!
