The majority of people in Japan follow Shinto and Buddhist practices with regards to burial and funerary customs. Shinto is still the most popular sect to follow in wedding customs, and Buddhism is the most popular path to follow for funerary rites.
While mourners were formerly dressed in all white, today the custom is to dress in black. Funeral customs in Japan vary by region, by religion and economic situation of the family. Over ninety-nine percent of funerals are cremations, and even with cremations, space for keeping ashes is difficult to come by in cemeteries, and plots are extremely expensive.
Family grave stones in Japan are fairly small and hollow, allowing for the placement of urns of the deceased’s ashes. Some of the ashes of loved ones are kept at home. Embalming does not take place in Japan.
