Description

  The present invention relates to a paper urn that accommodates powdered remains obtained by crushing remains of humans and pets after cremation, a natural burial method using the same, and a natural burial graveyard structure.

  With the aging of the population further progressing, about 1 million people die today and the peak is predicted to reach about 1.3 to 1.5 million people. Neighboring urban areas are already lacking cemetery application areas, causing cemetery prices to rise, causing deforestation and environmental destruction due to cemetery development, and technical solutions are expected.

  In addition, since the funeral liturgy has soared to several million yen, the funeral liturgy cost is several million yen, and the tomb is several million yen, about 30% of the citizens say "no funeral is required" “No need” and “No need tomb” have been reported, causing disrespect for human dignity, religion and liturgy.

  Therefore, the following Patent Document 1 proposes a fountain park cemetery fountain park cemetery that provides environmental conditions that can foster moisture and peace in a limited site where trees etc. grow naturally. .

  However, it is a combination of a distribution system that provides a tombstone and an ossuary system that preserves the urn in the hall, and it does not return the remains naturally, so it does not fundamentally solve the above problem.

  Patent Document 2 below proposes a park cemetery facility in which a world stone park (rock park) area and a grave area are fused.

  However, since the advice such as a tombstone is described on the display plate, and there is no description about the urn and the remains are not attributed naturally, the above problem is not fundamentally solved.

  On the other hand, as a thank for nature that supported my life, an increasing number of people want to return to nature with only bones after death.

However, although the bones of people and pets to Yamano do not cause physical damage to neighboring residents, there is a problem of causing mental damage (disgust).
