JP2007177582A - Method for developing park-like cemetery and surface reclamation material for park-like cemetery - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cemetery wherein the wishes of the deceased who wants a natural funeral is honored and economical and psychological burdens of the bereaved family are eased. <P>SOLUTION: Surface reclamation material wherein soil and remains are mixed is sprinkled over the cemetery land, so as to make a park-like cemetery with forests, fields, ponds, miniature hills and the like. The surface reclamation material is sprinkled without specifying a location just like a natural funeral. Since there is no tomb for a particular individual, the bereaved family does not have to pay for an individual use, although they bear the essential expense at a minimum cost for maintenance and operation of the cemetery. Since the location of the buried remains is not specified, the bereaved is not obliged to come to the cemetery for cleaning the tomb. Just for having a common tomb with a name of the deceased printed on within the cemetery, psychological constraints of the funeral and the burial the bereaved family may have are very much lightened. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a common cemetery (cemetery) that does not have a deceased dedicated grave mark, and more particularly to the creation of a cemetery made in the shape of a park.

  Due to the concentration of population in urban areas and the so-called nuclear family, it has become difficult in recent years to seek burial grounds in the suburbs of large cities. In suburban areas close to large cities, there are cases where land for cemeteries can be obtained at low cost, but there are various conditions such as the deceased relatives living in the municipality.

  In recent years, social consciousness has also changed significantly with regard to traditional cemeteries, funerals, burial methods, etc., due to the increase in the number of people living in the nuclear family, the number of single people, and the number of people seeking funerals such as bones.

  On the other hand, some new proposals regarding cemeteries and burials have been made reflecting these circumstances. For example, Patent Document 1 uses a tree instead of a grave marker and buryes a corpse or ashes near the tree. By using trees instead of gravestones (gravestones), the entire cemetery has a landscape such as green spaces and parks, and is intended to contribute to so-called environmental conservation activities.

In Patent Document 2, a tree that substitutes for a grave marker is planted on a sectioned land, and a mixture of ashes and water is introduced near this tree to infiltrate the ashes into natural soil. It is.
JP 2003-113679 A JP 2002-106208 A

  The previous proposal is excellent in that ashes are buried in a natural landscape without using a grave marker, but it is not necessarily adapted to the social changes in recent burial views that desire natural bones and oceans. Not done.

  Those who wish to scatter bones (natural funerals) to the mountains and the ocean do not have tombstones, and the remains are unleashed in the nature of the mountains and the ocean. There is a desire to adopt a funeral that does not occupy the family, and is not bound by religions or denominations and does not burden the bereaved family.

  On the other hand, in the inventions shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the use of a tree instead of a grave marker preserves the scenery for neighboring residents, but as long as there is a tree instead of a grave marker, the remains of the deceased Because the location of the site is specified, the psychological burden on the bereaved family remains, such as feeling reluctant to visit the grave. In addition, since there is a tree instead of a grave marker, an economic burden is left for the maintenance and management of the specific tree.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to minimize the psychological or economic burden on the bereaved family while respecting the intention of the deceased who desires natural funerals to the maximum extent.

  In order to achieve the above object, the cemetery according to the present invention sprays a surface preparation material in which a soil material selected from soil, sand, and gravel and ashes are mixed in the site of a park where basic landscaping has been performed. (Claim 1).

  The basic creation of this cemetery looks like a park or garden. For example, make forests, ponds, and rocks on the site. After this, landscaping is continued (inherited) over a long period of time using a mixture of earthen material and remains as surface preparation material. It may not be possible to spray a mixture of earthen material and remains on specific places such as stones or concrete-paved promenades, but it is the same as natural funerals without specifying the place in landscaping places like forests, ponds, or mountains Can be sprayed with ashes. In addition, when it is desirable to disperse a specific place, for example, around a pond or a mountain, depending on the intention of the deceased and the bereaved family, such intention may be respected. If the deceased or the bereaved family wants a specific tree to replace the grave marker, they can respond flexibly.

  This park-like cemetery basically does not mean that a specific place is a burial place for a specific individual's remains, so even if the minimum cost required for maintaining the cemetery is incurred, Since there is no such thing, there is no burden of use in the individual economic sense for the bereaved family. Also, since the remains of the remains are not specified, the bereaved family is not given a sense of duty to visit the graves to clean the tombstones. Even if there is a joint grave with the name of the deceased in the cemetery, the survivor's psychological restraint on funerals and burials will be greatly reduced. In addition, it is desirable to be able to search the record at the time of spraying the surface preparation material including the remains (food record), for example, by a terminal device arranged in a facility in the park.

  The surface preparation material to create the ground surface of the park-like cemetery may be a mixture of remains and soil materials, but it is used as a surface preparation material because there is a high potential demand for natural funerals to disperse crushed remains. It is desirable that the remains are finely pulverized into granules or powders (Claim 2).

  The earth material is selected from earth, sand, and gravel and used (Claims 1 and 3). This is because, in order to construct a park-like cemetery with a natural landscape, it is desirable to use soil materials similar to natural soil because it is necessary to reproduce natural forest fields, ponds and mountains. If necessary, for example, gravel or the like may be added to the surface preparation material.

  The remains may be crushed after being mixed with the earth material. However, when making the surface preparation material in the simplest manner, crushed remains are used (claim 4). Further, it is desirable to use a heat sterilized soil material (claim 4). The use of heat-sterilized soil is a consideration to the potential remains of the remains to use natural soil (clean soil) that is free from dirt. Needless to say, religious purification may be applied to the remains or the surface preparation material based on the will of the bereaved family or individual.

  According to the park-like cemetery according to the present invention, it is possible to respect the intention of the deceased who wants a natural funeral to return the remains naturally without having a personal grave marker, and at the same time minimize the psychological or economic burden on the bereaved family It becomes possible to limit to the limit.

  FIG. 1 illustrates a park-like cemetery according to the present invention. The park-like cemetery has an orchard that was originally constructed using ordinary soil material. For example, a pond 1, a built-up mountain 2, a promenade 3, a forest field 4, and a monument 5 are provided in the site of the park. . 6 is an inclined surface and 7 is a staircase.

  This park-like cemetery continues to be constructed over a long period of time by spraying a surface preparation material that is a mixture of remains and earth materials on the ground, especially the topsoil. Specifically, for example, surface formation material including remains is sprayed on the bottom surface of the pond 1 and the surrounding land, the mountain 2 and the forest land 4 to form the ground in the same manner as normal park construction. . The surface preparation material used here is generated as long as demand for the park-like cemetery continues. Since the promenade 3 may be made of concrete or rubber mats so that it is easy to walk, the surface preparation material including remains should not be scattered around the promenade 3, rest area (not shown), and stairs 7 desirable.

  Although it is desirable to landscaping the Tsukiyama 2 in advance, it is also possible to cover the soil material for landscaping with a surface construction material that includes all remains. It is desirable to make a landscape creation plan in consideration of the area of the park-like cemetery site and the amount of surface preparation material to be dispersed. The surface preparation material including the remains is spread even a little every day or every certain period. Therefore, the shape of Tsukiyama 2 and the undulation of the ground in the site gradually change over time. Of course, in a place where the amount of the surface preparation material including the remains is small, there may be no significant change in the landscape even after many years.

  On the other hand, in places where the amount of surface preparation material, including remains, is particularly large, it is assumed that the general ground in the site will rise over time and the indentation of pond 1 will become deeper. What is necessary is just to maintain the balance of the landscape by performing construction for laying a surface preparation material including a remains on the bottom of 1.

  The forest field 4 is desirable for creating a landscape similar to natural funerals and for creating a natural landscape for walking nearby residents with little psychological resistance. Compared to an inorganic cemetery structure that only disperses ashes in the site, the number of people who want to use the park-like cemetery (potential demand) due to the presence of the forest field 4 where densely or heterogeneous trees are densely planted Can be reliably increased.

  Such a park-like cemetery can be created in a valley in the suburbs of a city, and it is often preferred to use a natural valley full of ambience. A lot of ashes can be stored in the site without psychological discomfort by using the surface preparation material including human bones, and the amount of the remains is very small when crushed. Even if it continues to be sprayed on the park-like site as part of the surface preparation material, the land use will not be disabled in units of decades, and the operation of the cemetery will be continued for a long time even with a small management and maintenance fee. I can do it.

  For this reason, the local governments and management corporations in the area can use the land of suburbs where population growth is not expected in the future and valleys where people cannot live as park-like cemeteries, so that the bereaved families of many users It is possible to obtain regular cash income even from a small amount, etc., and there is a possibility of developing it as an effective utilization facility of dormant real estate that contributes to the so-called fiscal regional disparity.

  FIG. 2 shows a production example of the surface preparation material used in the park-like cemetery according to the present invention. The surface preparation material 10 used for this park-like cemetery is manufactured by pulverizing the remains (burned bone) 11 finely into powder (S1), heating the earth material 12 (S2), sterilizing, and mixing both. If the remains 11 are crushed, the volume becomes very small. The soil material 12 may be ordinary soil, but soil specified by the deceased's will (for example, soil in a hometown or a place with a memory) may be used. Sand or gravel may also be used.

  In the case of general soil and sand, various microorganisms are contained in the inside, so that the respect to the remains can be shown by using clean soil sterilized or sterilized by heating (S2). Psychologically, the beneficiaries' attitudes regarding the refusal of neighbors to natural funerals and the handling of remains are all psychological, rooted in tradition, customs and customs. Even when spraying remains on the site of the park-like cemetery, it is desirable to consider the emotions of neighboring residents and bereaved families as much as possible.

  The surface preparation material 10 thus obtained is sprayed without limiting the location within the park-like cemetery site (S3). Since it is fundamental that there is no specific individual grave marker, the surface preparation material may be sprayed freely anywhere, but if the deceased or the bereaved want it may be sprayed or placed at a specific location. The spraying place is not particularly limited. When the bereaved family does not witness the application of the surface preparation material 10, it is desirable that the cemetery administrator sprays the surface preparation material 10 after listening to the intention of the bereaved family.

  Other surface preparation materials may be added to the surface preparation material including the remains 11. For example, gravel, charcoal, and bark fragments. Of these, for example, the fine powder of charcoal has no adverse effect on the soil, has the effect of purifying rainwater, and the function of purifying the air on the ground surface, and the color of the surface preparation material including the remains can be adjusted to black. . For this reason, if charcoal powder is mixed with the surface preparation material 10, it is useful also for preservation | save of the surrounding natural environment, such as color adjustment of the surface of the ground of a park-like cemetery, purification of rainwater.

  In the specific operation of the park-like cemetery, the location where the surface preparation material is applied may be recorded for each individual, and if the survivor wants, the data may be retrieved. In addition, when performing a ritual as a social habit, such as Obon (Hanlan Bon), it is also desirable to consider that the bereaved family can receive moving images using the terminal device of each household, for example, via the Internet line.

It is a figure which shows the structural example of the external appearance of the park-like cemetery which concerns on this invention. It is a block diagram which shows the manufacture example of the surface preparation material of the park-like cemetery which concerns on this invention.
