On Sunday, May 24, 2026, Okurukatachi Co., Ltd. (Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City) will hold a "Home Funeral Experience Event" at the rental space within Chikuzen-Maebaru Station, where attendees can actually see and feel the atmosphere of a home funeral.
Okurukatachi is a company specializing in proposing home funerals, based on what its representative has learned through extensive involvement in many funerals as an encoffiner and monk.
◆ Background of the Home Funeral Experience Event
In recent years, in addition to the downsizing of funerals since the COVID-19 pandemic, the increase in longevity has led to a growing situation where "there are fewer relatives and friends to invite."
We also feel in the actual funeral現場 that the period after retirement is long, and connections with local communities and people are less than before.
In such circumstances, the number of people choosing home funerals is increasing, either because the deceased expressed a wish to their family during their lifetime to "return to their familiar home for their final moments," or due to the family's desire to "quietly see off only their truly close ones."
On the other hand, there are many voices of concern, such as "Can a funeral be held at home?" and "Isn't the preparation difficult?"
At this experience event, we will recreate actual altars and spaces, allowing you to see and feel the atmosphere of a home funeral, while also providing easy-to-understand guidance on the flow and costs.

◆ Support Services Provided by Okurukatachi for Home Funerals
Okurukatachi proposes home funerals that include services often charged separately, such as last makeup and sutra chanting, as part of the plan.
We also provide necessary support for moving furniture and creating space in your home, as well as greetings to neighbors, striving to alleviate family concerns as much as possible and enable a send-off at home.
We offer personalized send-off proposals that respect the wishes of the deceased to "return home" and align with each family's unique situation and feelings.
