Tear Introduces Three New Package Plans for its 'Kanshasou' Pre-Need Funeral Service

Tear Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Nagoya, Aichi; Representative Director and President: Tokuhisa Tomiyasu), which operates funeral services and a franchise business primarily in Nagoya and across the Chubu, Kanto, Kansai, and Hokkaido areas, has announced that it will introduce three new package plans for its pre-need funeral service, "Kanshasou," starting May 26, 2026, tailored to customer needs. ■ Background of Introduction Until now, "Kanshasou" was offered exclusively as a free-form plan where contents were assembled according to the customer's specific requests. However, to make the service easier for more customers to use, the company has established a clear plan structure based on the number of attendees and event scale, providing package plans that serve as easy-to-choose standards. ■ Overview of New Package Plans [Plan A] 770,000 yen (tax included) Recommended attendees / Up to 50 people. This plan is for those who wish to express their gratitude to a large number of people, including work and hobby connections. It offers comprehensive services including floral decorations, 80 invitation sets, 3 reception staff members, snap and group photography, and the creation of an original life story video. [Plan B] 605,000 yen (tax included) Recommended attendees / Up to 30 people. This plan is designed for those who wish to hold a small-scale event with family and friends. It includes floral decorations, 50 invitation sets, 2 reception staff members, group photography, and life story video creation. [Plan C] 440,000 yen (tax included) Recommended attendees / Up to 15 people. A plan for those who wish to casually hold an event strictly with close relatives. It realizes a compact yet memorable ceremony, including floral decorations, 30 invitation sets, and 1 reception staff member. * All plans include MC progression, a complete set of signage, and banner creation. The signature "Life Story" video introducing the individual's life is also provided (excluding Plan C). * Items whose quantities depend on the number of attendees, such as catering and return gifts, are not included in the plans. ■ About "Kanshasou" "Kanshasou" is a new style of pre-need funeral proposed by Tear. While traditional pre-need funerals often have the aspect of a "place for farewells," "Kanshasou" aims for individuals to directly convey their feelings of gratitude to those who have supported them during major life milestones. Held at turning points such as 60th (Kanreki) or 70th (Koki) birthdays, retirement, or business succession, it supports enriching the rest of their lives through interaction with attendees. https://tear-seizensou.com/ ■ Future Outlook With the introduction of these package plans, Tear aims to improve accessibility so that a broader range of customers can utilize "Kanshasou." The traditional free-form plan will also continue to be offered to meet the diverse needs of customers. Tear Co., Ltd.
