Korekara No Kuyo No Katachi (Shodensha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] The form of memorial services may change with the times, but the desire to remember the deceased remains the same. The author presides over "Matera," a portal site connecting people and temples, and has been searching for memorial services that are appropriate for the modern age. In other words, what kind of memorial service would satisfy the family and those involved? What is the new form of memorial service in a world where blood, land, and company ties are disappearing? This book, with the help of many priests who possess wisdom in the field of memorial services, examines the connection with the dead and the activity of memorial services in the modern age, and attempts to realize an ideal memorial service suited to each individual. The book also provides concrete know-how for this purpose. Why don't you rethink about memorial services?
