At SANKOTSUYAMA, we offer a private scattering area for your family and ancestors. Since you own the forest, you can visit the grave 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Since it's not a cemetery, but a space for scattering ashes, you can use it freely. While gravestones are not permitted under the Cemetery and Burial Law, you can plant the deceased's favorite plants and erect memorial monuments and huts. Planting flowers like a flower bed can create a beautiful garden. Visitors are welcome to visit at any time. Pets and relatives can also scatter ashes without restrictions. While property taxes may apply, they are rarely expensive in the case of forestland. Of course, since it's privately owned, there are no contract restrictions or annual management fees. It truly becomes a space for perpetual memorialization. In an era when temples are rapidly disappearing, grave closures are on the rise. Grave closures are no longer uncommon. Relationships with temples are also fading, and many people continue to pay management fees and temple fees despite merely formal relationships. However, it is possible to hold perpetual memorial services for ancestors and family members without necessarily going through a temple. If you are scattering ashes in a privately owned forest, you can do so smoothly without violating the law. Acquiring a forest scattering site is a real estate transaction, so you will need to pay taxes and administrative fees for changing the name. Since this is done through a judicial scrivener, an additional fee of around 200,000 yen is usually required. When you contact us, we will first provide you with information about the real estate where the ashes will be scattered. After considering the options, we ask you to make a decision about purchasing. Of course, we will also provide advice regarding scattering ashes. |
