By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional ashes for tree burial, there is a limit to the length of the burial pipe to be buried. number of remains) is also limited.

Generally, the number of the ashes receptacles is set to 2 or 3.
However, there is an increasing number of cases where people want to be buried with their pets, for example, and it is desired to meet such requests.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the problems remaining in the above-mentioned prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a tree burial apparatus capable of increasing the number of ashes that can be buried as much as possible. Make it a problem to be solved.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the tree burial ossuary apparatus of the present invention comprises an upper opening into which a body for ashes is inserted, a buried pipe buried in the ground of a cemetery, and an upper opening of this buried pipe. and a lid for closing the buried pipe, wherein the upper part of the buried pipe is covered with mounded soil together with the lid, wherein the underground is exposed inside the buried pipe at the lower end of the buried pipe. It is characterized in that a lower opening is formed to allow the

With this configuration, in order to store the ashes containing ashes in the buried pipe for burial, the embankment located above the buried pipe is excavated and the upper part of the buried pipe is closed. The top opening of the buried pipe is opened by removing the lid.

In this state, the ashes container can be stored inside the burial pipe through the upper opening.
After the body is stored in the burial pipe in this way, a cover is again attached to the upper part of the burial pipe to block the upper opening, and then the upper part of the burial pipe including the cover is placed. The ashes can be buried by covering them with mounds.
By repeating this procedure, an acceptable number of ashes can be accommodated.

On the other hand, when storing ashes in excess of the allowable number, first, the embankment is removed to expose the upper part of the buried pipe, and then the lid is removed to open the upper opening of the buried pipe. do.

Next, the stored ashes container is taken out from the burial pipe, for example, the ashes contained in the old ashes container are taken out from the ashes container and placed in the burial pipe.

Then, by discarding the ashes container containing the ashes directly placed in the burial pipe and returning the taken out ashes container to the burial pipe, a new ashes container is placed above this ashes container. A storage space for the ashes container can be formed.

As described above, the ashes placed directly in the buried pipe enter the ground through the lower opening provided at the bottom of the buried pipe and are integrated with the ground.

By performing such work on the ashes for which a predetermined period of memorial service has passed, for example, the ashes for which the memorial service for the 33rd anniversary of the death has been completed, it is possible to form the aforementioned new storage space in advance.

In the present invention, it is also possible to detachably arrange a cylindrical inner tube with a bottom in the buried tube, and to store the ashes container in the inner tube.

By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to easily store and take out the ashes containing body from the burial pipe.

Alternatively, it is possible to simplify the operation when moving the remains stored in the burial pipe to another place for enshrinement or the like.

Also, the ashes containing body can be formed in a bag shape from a material that degrades over time.
If it is made of such materials, the container for ashes comes into contact with the soil in the ground through the lower opening of the buried pipe, and the container for ashes reacts with moisture, microorganisms, etc. in the soil. Gradually corrodes, dissolves and breaks.

As a result, after a certain period of time has passed since the burial, the shape of the ashes receptacle naturally collapses, and the ashes contained therein are released onto the ground, and the ashes receptacle located above descends.
Therefore, a new storage space for the ashes is naturally formed above the remaining ashes container.

As the time-deteriorating material, it is preferable to use, for example, a paper bag, a cardboard box, or a natural material such as a cloth bag using natural fibers.

The ashes containing body may be configured to include a ashes containing portion for containing ashes and an article containing portion for containing articles.

With such a configuration, for example, articles such as letters to grandchildren and keepsakes can be buried together with the ashes in a separate space from the ashes.

Further, the ashes container includes a main body provided with the ashes container and an article container provided with the article container, and the main body and the article container are detachably mounted. It is also possible to have a different configuration.

With such a configuration, it becomes easy to take out only the ashes or only articles such as letters to grandchildren and keepsakes.

According to the tree burial ossuary apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to form a new accommodation space for the ashes container in the burial pipe of limited size.

The hoisting tool 6 inserts the engaging pieces 6a into the upper part of the inner intubation tube 5 in a state of being elastically deformed so that the engaging pieces 6a are brought closer to each other. The engaging pieces 6a are elastically deformed so as to be separated from each other, and the engaging pieces 6a are fitted into the respective through holes 5a of the inner intubation tube 5 for use.

In this state, the lifting tool 6 is integrated with the inner intubation tube 5 as shown in FIG.
After handling the inner intubation tube 5, the lifting tool 6 is separated from the inner intubation tube 5 and stored.

It should be noted that the shapes, dimensions, etc., of the constituent members shown in each of the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and can be changed in various ways according to the conditions of the cemetery where the cemetery is installed.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, a cylindrical body provided with a lid is illustrated as the ashes container 2, but instead of this, it is also possible to adopt the configuration shown in FIGS.

The ashes container indicated by reference numeral 11 in these figures comprises a bottomed cylindrical main body 11a, a lid 11b detachably attached to the upper opening of the main body 11a, and a lid for inserting and removing the ashes container 11. and a gripping member 12 having a handle 12a to be gripped.

Furthermore, as with the ashes container 14 shown in FIG. 11, it may be configured to have a ashes containing portion A1 for containing ashes and an article containing portion A2 for containing articles.
In this modification, an example is shown in which the ashes storage unit A1 and the article storage unit A2 are configured separately. It is good also as the composition which becomes.

The ashes container 14 has a main body 14a having a cremains container A1, a lid 14b detachably attached to an upper opening of the main body 14a, and an article container A2, and is detachably attached to the lid 14b. It is composed of an article container 14c to be attached and a lid 14d detachably attached to an upper opening of the article container 14c.

As shown in FIG. 12, an annular rib 14e that can be fitted with the lid 14b is integrally formed on the bottom of the article container 14c coaxially with the article container 14c and the lid 14d. The inner diameter of the rib 14e is substantially the same as the outer diameters of the main body 14a and the lid 14b. By fitting the rib 14e to the lid 14b, the article container 14c is detachably connected to the lid 14b and positioned substantially coaxially with the main body 14a and the lid 14b.

In this modified example, the height ratio between the ashes storage section A1 and the article storage section A2 is about 4:1, but it is not limited to this, and may be, for example, 1:1 or 2:1. Further, by integrally forming an annular rib 14e on the bottom of the main body 14a, the structure may be such that the ashes storage section A1 is arranged on the top and the article storage section A2 is arranged on the bottom.

The ashes container 14 can be made entirely of a material such as ceramics or plastic. Moreover, each component may be formed of a different material. For example, the main body 14a and the lid 14b may be made of ceramic, and the article container 14c and the lid 14d may be made of plastic. Alternatively, the main body 14a and the lid 14b may be made of plastic, and the article container 14c and the lid 14d may be made of ceramics.

The lid 14b and the article container 14c do not necessarily have to be connected via the rib 14e. 14c may be integrally formed so that the article container 14c also serves as the lid portion 14b. Alternatively, after the lid member 14b and the article container 14c are fitted together, the article container 14c may be rotated by a predetermined angle of about 45 degrees and screwed to connect and fix.

According to this modified example, for example, letters to grandchildren, mementos, etc. can be buried together with the ashes in a separate space from the ashes.

In addition, it becomes easy to take out only the ashes or only articles such as letters to grandchildren and keepsakes.
