Dismantling a tomb
The other day, I went to a cemetery in the suburbs of Tokyo for the second of
anniversary of my mother’s passing.
We asked a buddhist monk to recite sutras.
The monk asked my brother what buhhist sect we belong to.
My brother answered he didn’t know. I didn’t know either.
Looking around, not a few tombs were covered with thick weeds.
My old friend H is an eldest son and single,he told me he was considering
to dismantle his (family) tomb, but was worrying about the cost.
Because of low birthrate and aging society problem, it seems people
who need to dismantle their tombs are increasing.
墓じまい
先日、母の三回忌で東京郊外の霊園に行った。
お坊さんに読経を頼んだ。
お坊さんは兄にうちの宗派は何かと聞いた。
兄は知らないと答えた。私も知らない。
周囲の墓を見渡すと雑草が生い茂った墓も多かった。
旧友のHは長男で独り身なので墓じまいをしたいが、
費用のことを心配している。
少子高齢化のためか墓じまいをする人が増えているようだ。

I didn't know about this situation in Japan. It seems very sad that the rapidly aging population and low birthrate in Japan has made it difficult to care for graves properly.

Thank you for your correction.
Yes, in Japan, we usually have a family grave, and eldest son takes care of it. companies often(sometimes?) transfer staffs to other locations far from their graves.
Don't you have such grave problems like this?

ありがとう。高齢だったし、天寿を全（まっと）うしたかな。 ”大往生（だいおうじょう）”なんて言葉を使うこともあるね。

Thank you very much for your quick response.
ちょっと聞きたいんだけど、こういうことってshorterさんの国でもある？
墓参りする人がいなくなって無縁仏になったり、墓地が遠いから近いところに移すとか。
July 30, 2024
私も詳しくないな。ここでは霊園があるけど、親戚の墓参りをする人を見たことがない。お墓を使っている人も結構珍しいと思う。
July 30, 2024
お墓を使ってない、ということは火葬して、海や山で散骨ってこと？
July 31, 2024
そうですね、火葬する。その後海や山で散骨人もいる。

映画のThe Bridges of Madison Countyみたいな感じか。
