Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a burial method for burying the remains of a person buried therein, a cemetery structure, a program, an information processing device, and a method. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, the method of burying a body and the structure of a cemetery in which the body is buried have been to place the remains in an urn and then place the urn in the grave. The following Patent Document 1 describes an enclosed type individual perpetual combined-use scattering facility that aims to "provide an enclosed type individual perpetual combined-use scattering facility that can be installed even in small areas near cities, and a method for preventing abandonment of cemeteries using the scattering facility, which can resolve the shortage of cemeteries, make cemeteries cheaper, and prevent abandonment of cemeteries." Another method for burying remains is communal burial. The following Patent Document 2 describes a communal grave that aims to "provide a communal grave that saves space, makes it easy to reuse the same space, and completely prevents the remains of others from being mixed in, even in communal burials." Furthermore, the following Patent Document 3 describes "a cemetery (graveyard) characterized by having trees planted as symbols of the deceased, and a method for creating a biotope by developing the cemetery." Patent Document 3 also shows "specific examples of trees planted as grave markers indicating the deceased, and signs attached to the trees." [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-072614 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-152520 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-113679 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] On the other hand, there is a desire to provide burial options that correspond to the wishes of the deceased. For example, there is a desire for burial methods that better fulfill the wishes of the deceased to return to nature. However, with conventional graves, the remains are placed in an urn, which has the problem of not being able to fulfill the wishes of the deceased to return to nature. In particular, there has been a problem in that it is not possible to contribute to forest regeneration. For example, the technology in Patent Document 3 describes the development of land as a cemetery, but does not specifically disclose how forest regeneration will be carried out.

[0005] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a technology that can better meet the wishes of the deceased to return to nature. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to one embodiment, a burial method for burying the remains of a person burying an interred person includes pulverizing the remains to obtain powdered remains, and burying the pulverized powdered remains in a forest area, regardless of whether the area is already filled with the remains of another person, and without storing the remains in an urn, cloth, or other container.

[0007] According to one embodiment, there is provided a cemetery structure for burying the remains of a person, the cemetery structure being located in a forest, and not provided with a storage container for storing the remains, nor with a compartment corresponding to the shape of the storage container for burying the storage container such as an urn or cloth, and the cemetery structure is configured to bury the pulverized remains in powder form without placing the remains in the storage container, regardless of whether the cemetery structure is already occupied by the remains of another person, and regardless of whether the cemetery structure is already occupied by the remains of another person, and without placing the remains in the storage container. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present disclosure, powdered remains are buried in the forest without being stored in a container, and the powdered remains become nutrients for the trees in the forest, providing a burial method that better meets the wishes of the burial victim who wishes to return to nature. In other words, according to the present disclosure, the value of returning to the forest can be better met with regard to burial. Furthermore, the present disclosure can contribute to forest regeneration in relation to burials. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. The names and functions of the components are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

[0011] <1. First embodiment> <1.1. Overview of this embodiment> The technology according to this embodiment is a burial method for burying the remains of a person who has been buried, in which the remains are pulverized into powdered remains. The remains are obtained in accordance with national or local laws, regulations, and customs, such as by cremating a body and collecting the remains. This technology buries the pulverized powdered remains in a forest, regardless of whether the forest is already filled with the remains of other people, and without storing the remains in an urn, cloth, or other container. This technology can thereby contribute to forest regeneration in relation to burials. Furthermore, this technology can provide those who visit the grave with the value of considering the entire forest as the object of worship. In other words, this technology can provide the value of considering the forest as the object of worship, without the need to construct a monument in a communal grave for those who visit the grave.

[0012] In this way, this technology realizes a new value in that the remains are returned to the forest, by grinding the remains into powder and burying them on the forest floor.

[0013] In addition, the burial plot according to this embodiment pulverizes the remains into powder and is therefore capable of burying an unlimited number of people. Furthermore, since the burial plot is located in a forest, it does not require as much effort to maintain as a regular burial plot.

[0014] In this way, this technology can reduce the effort and costs involved in managing the remains, while also fostering a new value in which the remains are returned to the forest.

[0015] <1.2. Overall structure of Cemetery 1> Cemetery 1 is a cemetery for burying the bodies of the deceased related to this disclosure. Figure 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of cemetery 1. Cemetery 1 is one that can be used as a cemetery under national laws (for example, laws regarding cemeteries, burials, etc.).

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, cemetery 1 is located in a forest. Cemetery 1 includes multiple burial plots 10, an approach path 20, multiple members 30, and a forest area 40. Cemetery 1 is divided into burial plots 10, which are plots for burials, by approach paths 20 located in the forest.

[0017] Cemetery 1 is a repository for storing remains and does not have plots designed to accommodate the shape of urns, cloth, or other items for burial.

[0018] The burial plot 10 is a plot for burying a body. Specifically, the burial plot 10 is configured to bury pulverized remains without storing the remains in a container, regardless of whether the remains of another person have already been buried in the burial plot.

[0019] The approach path 20 is a path that family members and friends of the buried body can use to visit the grave. The approach path 20 is installed in the forest so as to separate the burial plots 10. The approach path 20 can be any path that people can walk on, and it does not matter whether it is paved or not. The approach path 20 can be, for example, a walking path installed in the forest.

[0020] The element 30 is a component that indicates that the burial plot 10 is a burial plot. The element 30 is, for example, wood, more specifically, thinned wood harvested from a forest. Other components such as natural metals, plants, and other materials can also be used as the element 30. The element 30 is installed at the boundary between the burial plot 10 and the approach path 20. The element 30 does not need to completely separate the burial plot 10 and the approach path 20, as long as the boundary between the burial plot 10 and the approach path 20 can be clearly identified. For example, multiple elements 30 may be installed at intervals in the arc portion of the semicircular burial plot 10 in FIG. 1 to indicate the boundary between the burial plot 10 and the approach path 20.

[0021] The forest area 40 is the forest area other than the burial plots 10, the approach path 20, and the members 30. Although not shown, forest trees may grow in the burial plot 10. By burying the remains of the deceased around the trees in the burial plot 10, the remains will become nutrients for the trees, and the trees can also become objects of worship for visitors.

[0022] <1.3. Composition of burial plot 10> The burial plot 10 is an area for burying powdered remains. Specifically, the burial plot 10 is configured to bury powdered remains by digging a hole of a predetermined depth in the forest ground.

[0023] 2 to 5, we will explain the scene of burying the remains in the burial plot 10. Figures 2 to 5 are diagrams showing the state of burial in the burial plot 10.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the burial plot 10 is part of a forest, so the soil where the hole will be drilled is covered with fallen leaves, wood chips, and other debris. These fallen leaves and wood chips are temporarily evacuated to another location.

[0025] As shown in Figure 3, a burial plot 10 is prepared by digging a hole 12 of a predetermined depth into the ground of the burial plot 10. For example, the hole is dug by hand using digging equipment (such as a shovel). Any depth can be used as long as it is deep enough to bury the remains. For example, a hole 12 10 to 30 centimeters deep is dug depending on the amount and size of the powdered remains. The shape of the hole 12 is not limited to a square as shown in Figure 3, but may be any shape such as a circle, oval, rectangle, or pentagon. For example, if the hole 12 is square, it may have sides measuring 30 centimeters and be 30 centimeters deep. The powdered remains are buried in the hole 12. The powdered remains are mixed with part of the excavated soil and then buried in the hole 12 (Figure 4).

[0026] Here, the powdered remains are buried in hole 12 regardless of whether the burial site is already filled with the remains of another person.

[0027] Furthermore, the specified hole is not shaped to fit the shape of the container used to store the remains, but is shaped to allow for the burial of powdered remains. This is because placing a container such as an urn or cloth inside the hole would prevent the remains from returning to the forest. In this regard, if the container is made of a material that will return to the soil, it will not prevent the remains from returning to the forest. Therefore, it is also possible to store containers made of such materials that will return to the soil. In this case, it is possible to meet the needs of the burial person or the bereaved family to bury the remains in a container.

[0028] The burial plot 10 is configured so that after the remains are buried, the surface of the burial plot 10 can be restored to the state it was in before the burial hole was dug by filling the excavated soil into a hole of a specified depth. Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, once the remains are buried in the hole 12, the hole 12 is filled with the excavated soil. This returns the specified hole to its original ground state. After that, the evacuated fallen leaves, wood chips, etc. are returned to the surface of the burial plot 10. This returns the surface of the burial plot 10 to the state shown in Figure 2.

[0029] Furthermore, it is possible to avoid erecting monuments such as grave markers to indicate that someone is buried in Cemetery 1. This provides a new value to burials, in that "the entire forest can be visited as a place of worship."

[0030] <1.4. Burial method> Next, the burial method according to the technology of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figure 6. Figure 6 is a diagram showing the flow of the burial method in cemetery 1.

[0031] In step S100, the remains collected by cremation are pulverized to produce powdered remains.

[0032] In step S110, objects (e.g., fallen leaves, wood chips) are removed from the area where the powdered remains are to be buried in the burial plot 10. For example, fallen leaves and the like on the ground surface of the burial area are removed and placed in another location.

[0033] In step S120, a hole 12 of a predetermined depth is dug in the soil at the location in the burial plot 10 where the powdered remains will be buried.

[0034] In step S130, the remains are mixed with a portion of the soil excavated when drilling hole 12. At this time, 25 to 50 percent, preferably about 33 percent, of the soil excavated when drilling hole 12 is mixed with the remains.

[0035] In step S140, the remains mixed with soil are placed in the hole 12. When placing the remains in this hole 12, it is acceptable to not add chemicals (to not mix chemicals with the remains), as the remains themselves will be absorbed as nutrients by the trees.

[0036] As described above, in steps S130 to S140, the remains mixed with a portion of the soil are buried in hole 12. Here, the remains are buried regardless of whether the remains of another person have already been buried in the burial site, and without being placed in a container such as an urn or cloth.

[0037] In step S150, the surface of the place where the remains will be buried is restored to the state it was in before the hole of the specified depth was dug by filling the hole 12 with the soil that was dug.

[0038] In step S160, the removed items (fallen leaves, etc.) are returned to the burial site. As described above, in the example embodiment, the remains are not scattered on the surface of the ground, but are buried by digging a hole in the ground.

[0039] <1.5. Conclusion> As explained above, the technology disclosed herein pulverizes the remains to produce powdered remains. The technology disclosed herein buries the pulverized powdered remains regardless of whether the remains of another person have already been buried in a forest, and without storing the remains in an urn, cloth, or other container. By mixing the powdered remains with soil and burying them, the technology disclosed herein can conserve forests while providing a new value to burials, in that "the entire forest can be an object of worship."

[0040] Furthermore, the cemetery 1 of the present disclosure is located in a forest. The cemetery 1 of the present disclosure does not have a storage container for storing remains, nor does it have a plot of land corresponding to the shape of the storage container for burying the remains, such as an urn or cloth. The cemetery 1 of the present disclosure is configured to bury powdered remains, regardless of whether the remains of other people have already been buried in the location, and without placing the remains in the storage container. In this way, the cemetery 1 of the present disclosure can bury powdered remains without placing the remains in the storage container, while preserving the forest by mixing the powdered remains with soil, and can provide a new value of burial, in that "the entire forest can be visited."

The display unit 1034 may also be configured to use the location information of the user terminal 2000, the location information of the buried person, and map data of the cemetery 1 to calculate a route from the location of the user terminal 2000 in the cemetery 1 to the location where the buried person is buried, and display this route as well. In this case, the display unit 1034 calculates a route on the approach to the cemetery 20 that the user can walk from the location information of the user terminal 2000, the location information of the buried person, and the map data. The display unit 1034 may also be configured to periodically acquire the location information of the user terminal 2000 and update the displayed location information of the user terminal 2000.

[0087] The display unit 1034 also presents information about the buried person to the worshipper. Specifically, in response to a request from the user terminal 2000, the display unit 1034 acquires the content of the buried person and the date and time the content was registered from the content DB 1022. The display unit 1034 then displays the acquired content and the date and time on the user terminal 2000. At this time, the display unit 1034 may be configured to allow the user to select the type of content to display. For example, the display unit 1034 displays images, videos, and messages related to the buried person on the user terminal 2000 when the user selects the content type (images, videos, or messages).

[0088] The registration unit 1035 accepts registration of content from worshippers. Specifically, when the registration unit 1035 receives content such as an image, video, or message from the user terminal 2000, it registers the received content in the content DB 1022.

[0089] The walkthrough processing unit 1036 performs a walkthrough display on the user terminal 2000, displaying the scenery as the user moves along the route. Specifically, the walkthrough processing unit 1036 acquires images and three-dimensional point cloud data of the cemetery 1, and displays the walkthrough on the user terminal 2000. At this time, the screen on which the walkthrough display is performed may be provided with functions for moving the location, moving the viewpoint, and zooming in and out of the screen.

[0090] The map information generation unit 1037 generates map data for the cemetery 1. Specifically, based on the location information and date and time stored in the map information DB 1023, the map information generation unit 1037 generates a route that worshippers can walk when worshiping at the cemetery 1.

[0091] The images stored in the map information DB 1023 are, for example, images actually taken in the cemetery 1 by a photographer holding a GPS-equipped camera. The camera may, for example, be one that can rotate 360 ​​degrees and take continuous images. The map information DB 1023 records location information of places within the cemetery 1 that can be walked upon by the photographer walking through the cemetery 1 and taking images, as well as the cemetery ID of the cemetery 1, images of the cemetery 1, and the date and time of the image. The map information generation unit 1037 uses the stored location information and date and time to generate map data showing places within the cemetery 1 that can be walked upon. The display unit 1034 is able to display routes using this map data.

[0092] Furthermore, the map information generation unit 1037 generates images to be used for the walk-through display by the walk-through processing unit 1036. Specifically, the map information generation unit 1037 uses the images and location information stored in the map information DB 1023 to generate images to be used for the walk-through display in the cemetery 1.

[0114] In step S1119, the server 1000 displays information about the person buried on the user terminal 2000.

[0115] In step S1121, the user terminal 2000 displays information related to the person buried on the user terminal 2000.

[0116] 16 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in the system 100. Through the processing shown in FIG. 16, the server 1000 displays to the worshipper a route to the location of the buried person.

[0117] In step S1301, the user terminal 2000 transmits a route guide request to the server 1000. At this time, the user terminal 2000 also transmits the current location information of the user terminal 2000 to the server 1000 in the request.

[0118] In step S1303, the server 1000 detects a route based on the current location of the user terminal 2000 and the location information of the buried person.

[0119] In step S1305, the server 1000 causes the user terminal 2000 to present the route from the user terminal 2000 to the location of the buried person.

[0120] In step S1307, the user terminal 2000 displays the route from the user terminal 2000 to the location of the person being buried.

[0121] In step S 1309 , the server 1000 updates the route in accordance with the location information of the user terminal 2000 .

[0147] <2.7. Conclusion> The technology disclosed herein acquires location information of the burial location in a forest where the powdered remains are buried, regardless of whether the remains of another person have already been buried there, and presents the location information to visitors, without storing the remains in an urn, cloth, or other container.By showing visitors to the burial location where the burial occurred, the technology disclosed herein makes it easier for visitors to pay their respects to the burial location.

[0148] The technology disclosed herein also displays a route to the burial location of the buried person to worshippers. This allows worshippers to easily visit the forest of the disclosure. Because the technology disclosed herein is a cemetery where no monuments such as grave markers are erected and the site is a forest, by displaying a route, worshippers can know where they can walk and can visit safely.

[0149] The technology disclosed herein also provides visitors with a walk-through display of the cemetery, allowing them to understand their current location and where to go. The technology disclosed herein also allows visitors to pray even if they are in a remote location.

[0150] <3. Modifications> In the above embodiment, the basic burial according to the present disclosure has been described. Below, a modified example of the above will be described.

[0151] <3.1. Variation 1> In variant 1, we explain how the cemetery receives payment for burying the remains from the person who uses the cemetery 1, or the person's family, and donates the payment.

[0152] Specifically, the operator of Cemetery 1 receives a fee from the person who buried the remains or the person's family for the burial of the remains, and donates a portion of the fee to forest conservation businesses, etc. Since the person who buried the remains may wish to be buried in Cemetery 1 while they are still alive, the operator may also receive a fee in advance from the person who buried the remains.

[0153] By donating a portion of the fee to businesses involved in forest conservation, forest conservation will be further promoted.

[0154] As a result, according to variant 1, it is possible to provide new values ​​regarding burials while promoting forest conservation. Here, the computer of the burial business operator will manage the amount donated to forest conservation based on the fee received for burying the remains and the donation recipient, and information about the donation may be disclosed to third parties via a website, etc. The computer may, for example, provide the following information in a viewable manner to users browsing a website or considering carrying out the burial method described in this embodiment. Total amount donated for forest conservation Donation amount for each recipient Furthermore, the burial business may accept, in accordance with the wishes of the person being buried or the family of the deceased, a designation of the donation destination (designation of a specific organization that conserves forests (general incorporated association, specified non-profit corporation, local group, union, temple, shrine, business, etc.), or designation of information that identifies the forest), and manage this information in the computer. This will better meet the value of the person being buried returning to nature and further regenerating the forest. Note that if the wish of the person being buried or the family of the deceased is to designate the forest itself as the donation destination, rather than a business that manages the forest, the business that manages the forest may be managed as the donation destination in the computer. When a donation recipient is designated by the person buried or the family, there may be cases where there is no forest management company for the said donation recipient (such as the forest itself). In this case, the computer performs processing to make the donation to an organization that has been registered in advance as a forest conservation company. In addition, the burial business may accept the intention of the burial person or the bereaved family to donate a portion of the fee for burying the remains and manage the donation using the computer, but may not require the designation of the donation recipient. In this case, the burial business may process the donation to a donation recipient (such as an organization that manages and preserves forests) that has been preset by the burial business. The burial business accepts burial requests from the wishes of the person before death or from the bereaved family via a website or other means, and manages the requests on a computer. When accepting this request, the computer may accept at least one of the following and manage it in a database: Burial manner: Individual funerals (securing an individual burial plot for a certain period of time, after which the plot will be filled with other people) Whether to have a joint burial (a plot where the deceased is buried together with others without being separated from the rest) Will you be buried together with your pet (for example, without a separate plot, you will be buried together with other people and your pet)? · Specify the cemetery where you would like to be buried · Donate part of the burial costs If a person makes a donation, they can choose where to donate the remains, or leave the decision to the burial service provider. The computer can also present the bereaved family or the person being buried with a list of donation destinations selected by the burial service provider. The computer may be configured to accept burial requests from the time the person being buried is still alive. When accepting a request for burial, the computer may accept the designation of a donation destination, and if the donation destination does not manage and conserve forests as described above, the computer may notify the requester of this fact and accept an operation to entrust the donation destination to the burial business operator. The computer manages whether or not a burial has been carried out in response to a burial request, and may periodically tally up the donations and donation recipients for requests for burials, and display the tally results on a website or the like.

[0155] <3.2. Variation 2> In the second modification, a case where a dedicated section is provided for the cemetery will be described.

[0156] Figure 22 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of cemetery 2 according to variant example 2. As shown in Figure 22, cemetery 2 is located in a forest. Cemetery 2 includes burial plots 10, burial plots 15, an approach 20, multiple members 30, a forest area 40, etc.

[0157] In variant 2, it is set whether or not the burial plot 10 and the burial plot 15 are dedicated to a specific person. In variant 2, an example will be explained in which the burial plot 10 is not dedicated to a specific person, but the burial plot 15 is dedicated to a specific person.

[0158] In variant 2, when burying the remains, the remains are buried in burial plot 10, which is not, as a general rule, reserved exclusively for other burial persons, among multiple burial plots.

[0159] In addition, in burial plot 15, which is dedicated to a specific person, only the remains of that specific person will be buried there, as a general rule.

[0160] However, if a predetermined period of time has passed since the burial plot 15 designated for exclusive use by a specific burial person was designated as such, the remains of the person other than the designated burial person will be interred in either a burial plot 10 that is not exclusive to another burial person, or a burial plot 15 that has been designated as such for exclusive use by a specific burial person for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period can be any period. For example, the predetermined period can be a specified period such as one year, five years, or ten years, or a period during which the remains are expected to return to the forest, or any other period.

[0161] In the case of Variation 2, in the cemetery information DB 1024, the item "Burial Plot" stores information identifying the type of burial plot, whether it is dedicated to a specific burialee (Burial Plot 15) or not (Burial Plot 10). Furthermore, if the burial plot is dedicated to a specific burialee, the item "Burial Plot" stores the burialee ID of the specific burialee, the setting start date, and the specified period. The setting start date is the date the specific burialee was actually buried, the contract start date, etc.

[0162] The server 1000 prohibits the burial plot from being used as the burial site for another burial person until a specified period of time has passed. Specifically, when the administrator registers the burial location of a new burial person in the burial person DB 1021, the server 1000 determines whether the burial location is a burial plot 15. If the burial location is a burial plot 15, the server 1000 determines whether the burial location is a specific burial person by comparing the burial person ID of a specific burial person in the burial plot 15 with the burial person ID of the new burial person. The server 1000 accepts the registration of the burial location if the burial location is not a burial plot 15, or if the new burial person is a specific burial person even if the burial location is a burial plot 15. On the other hand, in all other cases, the server 1000 does not accept the registration of the burial location and displays an error message to the administrator indicating that the burial location is reserved for a specific burial person.

[0163] In addition, when a predetermined period of time has passed since the setting start date for the burial plot 15, the server 1000 automatically changes the setting of the burial plot to information identifying it as non-dedicated. At this time, the server 1000 may notify the cemetery manager and the bereaved family that the predetermined period of time has passed for the burial plot (it is no longer dedicated).

[0164] Furthermore, the administrator will not provide information to the person being interred or the person's family members about available burial plots that are already reserved for a specific person. Therefore, when information about available burial plots is requested from the administrator's terminal, the server 1000 transmits to the administrator's terminal, etc., burial plots excluding burial plots that are reserved for a specific person as possible burial locations for the person being interred.

[0165] According to Variation 2, for a certain period of time, the remains of the specific interred individual will not be interred in the designated plot. After the specified period has elapsed, the remains of the other interred individuals will be interred. This provides a new value in that the remains will be returned to the forest, while also realizing the wishes of the bereaved family to mourn only the specific interred individual until the remains are returned to the forest, or the wishes of the interred individual to be interred alone.

[0166] <2.3. Other Modifications> In the above embodiment, an example was described in which one hole 12 is drilled in one burial plot, but this is not limited to this. Multiple holes 12 may be drilled in one burial plot to bury the remains.

[0167] The powdered remains may also be buried in separate holes 12. This will speed up the time it takes for the buried person to return to the forest, thereby contributing to forest regeneration.

[0168] In the second embodiment, the user terminal 2000 is a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone or tablet, but the present invention is not limited to this. A visitor can visit the cemetery 1 via communication from a PC or other device located in a remote location, such as their home. In this case, by displaying a walk-through screen, the visitor can visit the buried person even if they are in a remote location, such as their home.

[0169] Furthermore, although the server 1000 displays the route from the user terminal 2000 to the location where the buried person is buried, this is not limited to this. For example, the server 1000 may be configured to display the route from the entrance / exit of the cemetery 1 to the location where the buried person is buried. The server 1000 may also be configured to display the route from the user terminal 2000 to the entrance / exit. This allows worshippers to safely visit the cemetery without getting lost, even in vast forests.

[0170] Furthermore, the technology of the present disclosure may be further configured to collect the movement history of the user terminal 2000. In this case, the movement history includes location information of the user terminal 2000 and the date and time of its location. The server 1000 uses the collected movement history to calculate the time that worshippers stayed at the burial plot of the person being buried. The server 1000 predicts the congestion level and uncrowded times at the burial plot based on the time that multiple worshippers stayed at the burial plot. This modification thus helps worshippers decide the date and time to visit the burial plot.

[0171] The server 1000 may also be configured to calculate the planned date of worship from the burial date and time of the person buried and the worshipper's movement history, and send a reminder to the worshipper based on the calculated planned date of worship.

[0172] In addition, the system may be configured so that viewing permissions for content posted by worshippers are automatically granted to persons other than the poster, or by the poster. For example, if an acquaintance of the buried person comes to visit and posts a message, the posted message may be viewable by the bereaved family. In addition, if a bereaved family member posts an image, the poster may be able to set the image so that only the bereaved family member can view it. In addition, since it is expected that worshippers may post messages that they do not want the bereaved family member to see, the poster may be able to set viewing permissions so that only the poster can view the message. The relationship between the burial site and worshippers is diverse and sensitive, so setting viewing permissions in this way makes it possible to protect the special relationship between the burial site and worshippers.

[0173] <2.4. Cemetery example> In the above embodiment and modified examples, simplified examples of cemeteries 1 and 2 were used for the purpose of explanation. The cemetery according to the technology of the present disclosure is formed in an actual forest, and therefore may be configured as cemetery 3 shown in FIG. 23, for example. As shown in FIG. 23, cemetery 3 includes burial plot 10, burial plot 15, and approach path 20. Note that although component 30 is omitted in FIG. 23, burial plot 10 and burial plot 15 are indicated as burial plots by component 30. Because cemetery 3 is located in a forest, trees 50 (black circles in FIG. 23) may be present at burial plots 10 and 15. As shown in FIG. 23, because cemetery 3 is located in a forest, trees 50 can be used as markers for the burial locations of the deceased.

[0174] 24 shows a case where the cemetery displayed on the display unit 1401 in FIG. 20 is Cemetery 3. In this case, the display unit 1401 displays, for Cemetery 3, a route from the user terminal 2000 to the location where the person is buried.

[0175] Furthermore, the display unit 1401 may display two trees 50 that sandwich the location where the person is buried, instead of the icon 1402. Figure 25 shows a case where the cemetery displayed on the display unit 1401 in Figure 20 is Cemetery 3. In the example of Figure 25, the display unit 1401 includes area information 2042, standing tree number 2403, and standing tree number 2404, instead of the icon 1402.

[0176] The area information 2402 indicates the approximate location where the person is buried. Since the approximate location where the person is buried can be recognized by identifying the two trees 50, the area information 2402 may be configured not to be displayed.

[0177] Tree number 2403 and tree number 2404 are information indicating two trees 50 that stand on either side of the location where the person was buried. In the example of Figure 25, tree number 2403 and tree number 2404 indicate "1" and "2," respectively, but the numbers do not need to be displayed; any information that identifies the location of the trees will suffice. Furthermore, the management number of the tree 50 in the actual cemetery 3 may be displayed so that it is clear (for example, by hanging a plate with the management number on the tree branch), allowing the user to recognize the location of the tree using display unit 1401 and with their own eyes.
