Description

  The present invention relates to a cemetery.

  Cemeteries are often set up in remote places. This seems to come from wanting to use the land near the residence as effectively as possible. Today, cemeteries are often moved to suburbs as part of urban development.

  Here, if the cemetery is far away from the residence, you will not be able to visit the grave casually, and you will naturally go far away.

  Therefore, recently, a cemetery has been proposed in which a virtual cemetery is registered on the Internet and the cemetery is virtually experienced using the virtual cemetery (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, graveyards have also been proposed that can be installed in urban areas where transportation is good and efficient operation of ground space is promoted by providing structures for placing gravestones in underground spaces (for example, Patent Document 2).

  However, in the cemetery that visits the grave on the Internet mentioned above, it seems that the feeling of what can be easily accessed is not clear and something unsatisfactory. In particular, it seems that the rejection reaction is strong for the elderly who are often unfamiliar with the Internet.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned underground cemetery, the feeling of visiting the grave in a state of being confined in a closed space cannot be wiped off, and a sense of incongruity tends to occur.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a cemetery that is convenient for transportation and that allows visitors to visit the grave with a natural feeling that is not unclear.

  The invention of claim 1 is a cemetery characterized in that it is provided in a space under a railway overpass near a station.

In the case of the first aspect of the invention, since it is close to the station, it is convenient for transportation. Therefore, even elderly people who are unable to drive a car can easily visit the grave. In addition, the space under the railway overpass is open to the surroundings, so that people who visit the grave cannot feel that they are confined in a closed space. Also, people who visit the grave even on rainy days due to the railway overpass will not get wet in the rain. Therefore, you can visit the grave with a natural feeling. In addition, effective use of the space under the railway overpass will be achieved, and it is particularly suitable for urban areas where efficient operation of ground space is required. It also helps to eliminate cemetery shortages in urban areas.

  The invention of claim 2 is a cemetery formed by constructing a structure of a plurality of floors in the space under the railway overpass and installing a grave on a predetermined floor of the structure.

In the case of the invention of the second aspect, the same operation and effect as in the case of the invention of the first aspect can be achieved, and the effective use of the space under the railway overpass is further enhanced.

  The invention of claim 3 is a graveyard in which the first floor of the structure is a parking lot.

  In the case of the above invention of claim 3, the same operation and effect as in the case of invention of claim 2 can be achieved, and it is also convenient for those who visit the grave using an automobile.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to visit the grave with a natural feeling that is convenient and easy to transport.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the graveyard 10 according to the present invention is provided in a space 5 under a railway overhead near a station. Here, “near the station” is the distance that ordinary people who visit the grave can reach the cemetery from the station without difficulty.

  In this embodiment, a multi-storey structure 11 is constructed in the space 5 under the railway overhead, and a grave 17 is installed on a predetermined floor of the structure 11. In FIG. 1, 2 is a railway elevated, 3 is a railway, and 4 is a train traveling on the railway 3 of the railway elevated 2.

  As the above-mentioned station, a station where the train stops frequently is suitable. The structure 11 is made of reinforced concrete, for example. In this embodiment, the structure 11 is built on a plurality of floors (here, three floors). Of course, it may be a one-story building. In FIG. 1, the stairs (or elevators) that connect the floors are not shown.

  The first floor 12 of the structure 11 is a parking lot in consideration of the fact that some people visit the grave using automobiles. A bicycle parking space for a bicycle or motorcycle may be secured in a part of this parking lot.

  The second floor 13 and the third floor 14 of the structure 11 are places for installing the tomb 17. On each floor 19 of these floors (13, 14), soil 18 is laid, and a grave 17 is provided thereon. The tomb 17 is made of stone or wood, and is small (for example, 60 cm high) so that it can be installed in a small space. The material and shape can be selected arbitrarily. Further, plants 15 and flowers 16 are planted at the end portions of the second floor 13 and the third floor 14 of the structure 11. In some cases, music suitable for the graveyard 11 may be played. In this way, planting and playing music can soften the feelings of those who visit the grave.

  In the above-mentioned graveyard 10 according to the present invention, since it is provided in the space 5 under the railway overpass near the station, the convenience of transportation is good. Therefore, even elderly people who are unable to drive a car can easily visit the grave. In addition, the space under the railway overpass 5 is open to the surroundings, so that a person who visits the grave cannot feel that it is confined in a closed space. In addition, the railway overpass 2 (or the floor 19 on the upper floor) prevents a person who visits the grave even on a rainy day from getting wet even without an umbrella. Therefore, you can visit the grave with a natural feeling.

  In addition, effective use of the space under the railway overpass 5 will be achieved, and this is particularly suitable for urban areas where efficient operation of ground space is required. It also helps to eliminate cemetery shortages in urban areas.

  Furthermore, since the graveyard 10 is constructed by constructing a structure 11 having a plurality of floors in the space 5 under the railroad and installing a grave 17 on a predetermined floor of the structure 11, effective use of the space 5 under the railroad overhead is further enhanced. It is done.

  Furthermore, since the first floor 12 of the structure 11 is a parking lot, it is convenient for those who visit the grave using a car.

  In the above embodiment, the first floor 12 of the structure 11 is a parking lot, but it may be a place where the grave 17 is installed as in the other floors (13, 14). Moreover, although the structure 11 was made into 3 stories, it is not limited to this, For example, it is good also as 2 stories or 4 stories.

It is a figure for demonstrating the graveyard which concerns on this invention.
