Also, unlike a cremation that requires only a few hundred dollars ($ 100 = about 11,000 yen) cremation, it is necessary to have a coffin that will cost thousands of dollars ($ 1,000 = about 110,000 yen) for burial It leads to reasons for choosing. It is said that it may be used to cover expenses for holding a funeral itself in a special place such as a mountaintop by using a coffay which was floated due to cremation.
