FAQ

There is no legal problem. It is not regulated by the "Law Concerning Graveyards and Burials, etc." Has stated. However, if the local government regulates bone cutting by ordinance, it is not possible to perform bone cutting in the place regulated by the local government. At our company, we take into consideration not only nature and the surrounding environment, but also the feelings of the bereaved family.

The following places are not suitable for bone-cutting without ordinances and laws. Particular attention should be paid to other people's private land, around tourist spots, and near farms.
• Public facilities / premises without permission to scatter
• The surrounding sea area where the farm is located
• Within sightseeing spots and sightseeing routes

This is not necessary if you are scattering the ashes of someone you already own. However, if you are scattering ashes from a cemetery, you will need to obtain a "Reburial Permit" from the relevant city, ward, mayor, or village, or a "Certificate of Ashes Handover" from the cemetery administrator. In general, as the ashes age, they may absorb moisture or develop mold, making it impossible to pulverize them as they are. In such cases, additional work processes and costs are required, such as washing the bones and drying them. Please make sure to complete the procedure well in advance.

It is forbidden to scatter the ashes as they are. Scatter the bones to a size of 2 mm or less. If it is left in a finely crushed state, it may be blown away by the wind, so wrap it in water-soluble paper. Scattering is done while wrapped in paper.

Of course, it is possible. Some people divide the ashes because they want to bury them in the graves of their respective family members, because their graves are far away and they want to divide the ashes closer so they can visit the graves, or they want to divide the ashes at the head temple of their sect. Some people also scatter part of the ashes in the forest or at sea, or keep them close at hand.

This is a free funeral that is conducted in accordance with the wishes of the deceased and their family. Please rest assured that there are no particular issues regardless of religious affiliation.

It doesn't matter if you scatter all or just a portion of the ashes. Scattering all of the ashes would be lonely, so many people choose to keep a portion of the ashes and place them in a personal memorial item (such as a mini urn or jewelry) and hold a memorial service at home.

Please note that we do not accept requests in principle due to concerns that this may have a negative impact on fishing industry personnel and the environment.

There is no set time, and the service is available all year round. The weather is pleasant in spring and autumn, and in summer you can see the sky and clouds that are perfect for the sea. In winter, the sea is clear and the waves are calm. The inside of the boat is warm, and you can only go out onto the outside deck for scattering the ashes, so please apply according to your schedule.

The main component of the ashes is calcium phosphate, which is originally found in nature and is not harmful to the environment. It returns to the sea in the same way as the natural cycle of sea creatures.

This is limited to waters where no fishing rights exist and are a certain distance from the shore. The scattering certificate will record the latitude and longitude of the scattering point. The boat will depart from Riviera Zushi Marina or Riviera Seabornia Marina.
