“I want to see them off beautifully until the very end.”
“I want to properly convey my gratitude to my mother.”
Prompted by such customer voices, Hakkoden Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yao City, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Masaaki Nishikawa) has created a new funeral plan, primarily led by its female staff.
Ahead of Mother's Day, the 'Funeral Plan for Women' will be launched on May 1, 2026, as an opportunity to consider 'a farewell unique to that person.'
Funerals are entering an era where 'individuality' is valued.
In recent years, values regarding funerals have changed significantly. More people are thinking, 'I want to see them off in their own way' and 'I want to cherish their feelings,' rather than being bound by formalities.
Hakkoden also receives various sentiments from many customers every day.
“I couldn't do anything for my wife, so I want to see her off beautifully at the end.”
“My mother worked hard for us, so I want to see her off in a way that is true to her.”
In addressing these voices, Hakkoden felt the need for a new plan.
Responding to customer voices, female staff give it shape.
This plan was primarily conceived by Hakkoden's female staff.
Based on the feelings and insights gained from daily interactions with customers, they repeatedly discussed from the perspective of 'how would I want to be seen off?' and 'what kind of farewell would be warm?'
Rather than a formal funeral,
“I want to see them off in a way that is true to my mother,” “true to my wife,” “true to that person” —
This plan was born out of a desire to respond to such sentiments.
