Drive-through Funeral

This refers to attending to a funeral while riding in a car. Attendees write down their name and address so that they can offer incense for the deceased and pray for their peace in heaven. A funeral company in Nagano Prefecture started this service to ease the burden on the elderly and those with disabilities.
