Internment of Mom’s Remains

We went to the Tokorozawa Seichi Rei-en for the noukotsu-shiki (service to inter remains). It was about a half-hour drive out from Tokyo.

We sang hymns, there were prayers, the pastor spoke a few words, and then the urn was placed into the tomb. This tomb is owned by the Amanuma Seventh-day Adventist Church and church members can purchase a space within. Mom’s urn was placed between her father and mother’s.
