I want to be a stone without a grave

After my death, I want to be a stone without entering a grave.

I love stones and crystals, and since I was a kid, I wanted to be a stone when I died. I began to think so after watching a TV program where a bereaved family member processed bones and kept them close to their skin. That person used it as an artificial jewel, but I want just a stone the size of a small palm.

And one day my husband and I want them to be turned into a stone, and I want them to throw it into the ocean somewhere when it's time for the two of us. Even mountains are fine.
Whether my wishes are definitely reflected depends on the child generation, so I'm prepared that a third party might throw it in the trash as trash at worst.

However, there is something I'm worried about. Would not entering a grave be unjust for your ancestors, or would it make your descendants unhappy because you don't have a grave?

The meaning of worshiping graves

Good evening. There is also an ore store in my hometown, and when I go see it, I always stare at it,
Aside from that, it's technically possible to turn bones into stones, and I've seen ads like that.
However, as you've noticed, how do the people who left it handle it? It's their problem. You might take good care of it, you might throw it into the sea, or you might be smashed.
There are probably other options, such as whether to go to the grave or have it turned into a stone, but what will lead to your child's happiness the most.
I sometimes go to graves when I'm lost, so I like graves myself. This is because I sometimes think, “If I had a grandpa, what would I think and what would he say.” What happens when my grandson says, “Grandpa, help me” because he's a child. Whether it's “don't rely on me” or “remember,” that's what you think. How do you express that concretely? Wouldn't it be okay to think of it as such an issue?
I think your ancestors... will accept you no matter what you do if you think that way. I think it's okay to express “as a wife, I cared so much about my husband.”
In any case, I think it's okay to think about “what is going to happen to those who remain” as the axis.

Graves are places where living people put their hands together

What is a common pattern
① Parents say “because they don't want to cause trouble to their children” and don't hand it over, but they are bothered by the selfishness of one parent even though they all want their children and relatives to make graves and make memorial services.
② Opinions were divided between siblings, parents and children, and in the end, the loud unnecessary group overcame and directly buried. The remains were not taken. At that time, I thought it was unavoidable, but after a few years it became difficult and painful to put hands together even on graves without a rank, and it became unavoidable. I regret that I should have opposed it more strongly.

What is wrong with this kind of trouble after all is that you only think “I want to do this” and don't consider other people's feelings.
Graves change with the times. Family graves, which are now mainstream, are also popular in the 20th century. There is no such thing as not to diversify the treatment of human remains.
However, that change must definitely come from a “heart for altruism.”

I made it a stone. There are no graves. Think about what would happen with that.

Where should people who want to hold hands with you who have passed away go? This is the stone owner's place. They are made to use their nerves every day so as not to be lousy on a daily basis, and furthermore, their relatives, uncles, and aunts visit their homes to pray, and they say small words about handling stones.
You might get sick of it and say, “I'll prepare a place where you can pray in silence, so please go there without permission.” That is a tomb.

Eventually, I threw it to the mountains and the ocean with my husband... it's against the law if I just throw it. You can search where and how to complete the procedure and make an application. You won't get caught even if you keep quiet, but if you're a sincere person, you'll be blamed.

Then, around the generation of great-grandchildren, this question comes to monks.
“I'm not sure why, but there aren't enough remains. It looks like they haven't been able to properly hold a memorial service. I'm worried that something bad will happen.”

It's really hard to say, but to be honest, the generation where that kind of thing is popular now is the generation that causes the most trouble in the city, and the generation that has been arrested the most. I don't want you to be affected too much.

Of course, if you can do it for everyone, then you can do it.

Graves are items that connect you to your ancestors

Hello, Mr. Triclinic Crystal.

I'd like to have them process it into stone for how to treat myself after death.
Nowadays, the way graves are handled has changed in many ways. I think the current purchase of ridiculously expensive graves is a problem, but throwing them in the ocean when they're gone is the opposite. I am not the only one who creates Japanese society and culture, and my own happiness. This is because it is an important heritage that continues from our ancestors and from many Japanese people in the past. As a result, Japanese society has become a happy country that is unbeatable to the rest of the world. One thing that has connected that culture is funeral ceremonies. By having graves, feelings for our ancestors were cultivated, and culture from the past has been carried over.
How can you contribute to funeral culture to society by being processed into stone? If it is simply processed, the bereaved families and regions left behind will be difficult to handle. They don't disappear naturally like bones, so they can't be disposed of either (laughs). If that's the case, buying a graveyard at a temple, choosing a new tombstone that becomes your favorite stone, and being enshrined there is a better way to treat it as a person later.

There's still a long way to go, so please do some research and think about it. I think we can learn what death is.

Hello.

I'm sure your child will be rumored by neighbors that “that person didn't put their parent's bones in the grave and threw them somewhere as a stone.” Even if you explain it beforehand, you won't be able to stop the rumor.

From the context of your question, there is already a tomb, and it seems that children are there, so I think it's better to just go into the grave.
