Japan from the Driver's Seat
Japan from the Driver's Seat
There are two types used. One type is the elaborately decorated one like in those shots. The other is much much more subdued. Also, there is the type used primarily for going and picking up a body initially. Those tend to be just regular black hearses much like one might see in the U.S. In fact, Cadillac hearses are very common in Japan.
After cremation, bones are normally placed beneath a common family tomb. I don't know if crypt would be the right term or not. In Japanese cremation, the bones are not ground to powder as they are in the U.S.

Yes, I don't know if Crypt is the right word, but Tomb isn't quite right either. It's called ohaka. Well, small tomb could suffice. Anyways, probably 2 or 3 Japanese Family graves would fit on the entire area of a US grave. Well, an unextravagent grave site. What's with the Morbid curiosity anyways? :?
