[Solution] Regardless of whether the urn is white or a variety of colors, has a variety of designs, or is the shape of the urn, this urn 1 has an urn tablet 2 attached to the urn body, and the posthumous name, common name, age at death, and auspicious date of death can be written on it. The means for attaching the tablet to the urn are either carving, burning, writing, or a sticker.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] Our school's proposal relates to an urn that has the memorial tablet written, burned, carved, or has a memorial tablet-shaped sticker affixed to the body of the urn, regardless of the color, design, or shape of the urn, and in addition has a three-dimensional memorial tablet fixed to the body of the urn, which allows for a plate with the posthumous name written on it to be inserted. [Background technology]

[0002] Until now, with urns, the name of the deceased has been written, burned, or engraved on the inside of the lid or onto the urn itself so that it was possible to identify whose remains the urn contained. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Until now, with urns, the name of the deceased was written on the underside of the lid, burned into the urn itself, or written in marker. However, if you look at the underside of the lid, you have to open the urn every time to check whose remains it is, and burning or engraving is expensive, and writing by hand on the urn itself doesn't look good. So, by providing a fixed memorial tablet to the urn, it looks better and can be checked immediately. Means to solve this problem

[0006] Our school's proposal is to write or carve a fixed memorial tablet into the urn itself, which looks better and makes it clear at a glance whose urn it belongs to. The best way to attach a memorial tablet to the urn is to carve or burn it into the urn, or to create a three-dimensional memorial tablet and embed a plate with the posthumous name written on it, but a sticker can also be affixed. However, stickers are at risk of falling off, so while they may be fine for short periods of 10 or 20 years, they may not be as suitable for urns that hold remains, which may be kept in temples for centuries. Effects of the idea

[0007] By placing a memorial tablet on the urn, you can see whose remains belong to you at a glance, and it also looks better. Especially nowadays, the number of people getting married is decreasing, and the number of people who have permanent memorial services is inevitably increasing. Our temple also has a permanent memorial hall, but since the urn is placed directly on the memorial shelf, we place a plain wooden memorial tablet in front of the urn so that you can see whose remains belong to it. If the urn itself has a fixed memorial tablet, you can see whose remains belong to it at a glance. Since it is a permanent memorial service, you may think that there is no need to check, but once every few years, distant relatives come to check on their ancestors from 50 or 100 years ago, saying, "I heard that our ancestors who are related to us are sleeping in this temple." Or, since the line of descendants is broken, you can put the remains of several bodies in a crusher and grind them into powder, and place them in one urn. Even in such a case, if a blank memorial tablet is written in the urn, it is very convenient because you can check it at a glance. The number of memorial tablets that can be placed in the urn does not matter. In addition, these days, people leave the remains at crematoriums, scatter the remains at beaches in the name of scattering ashes, or leave the urn on trains, in fields, or in food waste dumps. Even if they don't go that far, there are cases where they don't have a Buddhist altar or a family temple, and just leave the urn in the house. If that's the case, if they place a memorial tablet on the urn and turn the urn itself into a Buddhist altar, they will take good care of it. If they take good care of it, they will realize the importance of a columbarium, a grave, and a family temple when the time comes. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1]Urn with the memorial tablet of the present invention attached to the body Regardless of whether the urn is white or of various colors, whether it has various designs, or whether it is the shape of the urn, a fixed memorial tablet is attached to the urn body, and the inside of the tablet is left blank so that the head priest or a third party can write the posthumous name, common name, age at death, and auspicious date of death. Alternatively, the posthumous name, common name, age at death, and auspicious date of death may be burned or carved into the blank space of the memorial tablet attached to the urn body from the beginning. Another method is to fix a three-dimensional memorial tablet to the urn body, into which a wooden (or other material) plate with the posthumous name, common name, age at death, and auspicious date of death can be inserted. In the case of perpetual memorial services, the remains may be crushed and placed in one urn for several bodies, so the plate to be fitted can be a fixed three-dimensional tablet that can hold several tablets, or a bellows-shaped death register can be used instead of the plate. The material of the fixed three-dimensional tablet should be the same as that of the urn, but other materials are also acceptable. The fixed tablet to be placed in the urn should have two tablets: a tablet on the front where the posthumous name is written, and a tablet on the back where the auspicious date of death, common name, and age at death are written. Alternatively, it can be a single tablet on which all of these can be written. In other words, the number of tablets to be placed in the urn is not important. The most suitable method for placing a tablet in the urn is to carve or burn it, but a tablet-shaped sticker is also an option. However, stickers can come off, so while they are fine for short periods of 10 or 20 years, urns for storing remains may not be suitable, as they may be kept in temples for 100 years. In short, this is a proposal for an urn that allows you to see at a glance who the remains belong to.

[0009] By placing a memorial tablet on the urn, you can check whose remains belong to at a glance and it also looks better. Especially nowadays, the number of people getting married is decreasing, and the number of people who perform perpetual memorial services is inevitably increasing. Our temple also has a perpetual memorial hall, but since the urn is placed on the memorial shelf, if a memorial tablet is placed on the urn itself, you can check whose remains belong to at a glance. Since it is a perpetual memorial service, you may think that there is no need to check, but once every few years, distant relatives come to check their ancestors from 50 or 100 years ago, saying, "I heard that our ancestors who are related to us are sleeping in this temple." Or, because the line of descendants is broken, you can put the remains of several bodies in a crusher and grind them into powder, and place them in one urn. Even in such cases, if there is a blank memorial tablet written in the urn, you can check at a glance, which is very convenient. The number of memorial tablets that can be placed in the urn does not matter. In addition, these days, people abandon their remains at crematoriums, scatter them on beaches in name only, or leave urns on trains, in fields, or in food waste dumps. Even if they don't go that far, some people don't have a Buddhist altar or a family temple, and just leave the urn in their home. If that's the case, perhaps they will take better care of it if they place an ancestral tablet on the urn and turn the urn into a Buddhist altar. If they take good care of it, perhaps they will realize the importance of a columbarium, a grave, and a family temple when the time comes. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] Regardless of whether the urn is white or of various colors, has various designs, or is the shape of the urn, the mortuary tablet is attached to the urn body, and the tablet is left blank so that the head priest or a third party can write the posthumous name, secular name, age at death, and auspicious date of death. Alternatively, the posthumous name, secular name, age at death, and auspicious date of death may be burned or carved into the blank space of the mortuary tablet attached to the urn body from the beginning. As another method, a three-dimensional tablet into which a wooden (or other material) plate with the posthumous name, secular name, age at death, and auspicious date of death written on it can be fitted is fixed to the urn body. In the case of perpetual memorial services, the remains may be crushed and placed in one urn for several bodies, so the plate to be fitted can be a fixed three-dimensional tablet that can hold several tablets, or a bellows-type death register can be used instead of the plate. The material of the fixed three-dimensional tablet should be the same as that of the urn, but it can be made of a different material. In addition, the fixed memorial tablet that is placed in the urn is provided with two tablets: a front tablet on which the posthumous name is written, and a back tablet on which the auspicious date of death, common name, and age at death are written. Or, it is also acceptable to have a single tablet on which all of these can be written. In other words, there is no limit to the number of tablets that can be placed in the urn. The most suitable way to place a memorial tablet on an urn is to carve or burn it, but a memorial tablet-shaped sticker is also an option. However, stickers can come off, so while they are fine for short periods of 10 or 20 years, they may not be suitable for urns that store ashes, which may be kept in temples for 100 years. In short, this is a proposal for an urn that allows you to see at a glance who the ashes belong to.
