We watched a film about Ruth Ozeki last week, so I'll talk about it.
After watching the film, Having the Bones, I thought about the Japanese funeral.
In Japan, the person's body is cremated in a crematorium and gathered the ashes and put in an urn by his or her relatives. I experienced this deed when I was junior high school student and I felt so strange and afraid of it, so of course I didn't have the bones because I couldn't the death of my great-grandmother at that time.
But after watching the film, my opinion toward Japanese funeral changed completely. I knew people can be related with the departed by having the bones and it'll often make them happy.
The film gave us many important things I think.
