Funeral remains relocation by charter jumbo taxi | Family members can also use a car with a tuxedo

With no one to take over the care of a loved one who passed away far away or unable to visit the grave several times a year—more and more families are choosing “final resting place (transfer)” as a solution. However, even after making the decision, there are many who are confused about how to carefully transport the remains after the funeral. In this article, we will answer frequently asked questions about the transfer of remains during a final resting place (transfer), provide an overview of the procedure, cost estimates, and how to choose a new place of burial.

The worry here is the transportation of the remains after the funeral.

The most common concerns in consultations are both emotional and logistical. "I want to carry my loved ones' remains without worrying about being seen or disturbed," "I want to move multiple urns and elderly relatives together," "There is a distance between the old cemetery and the new burial site." These are all situations that are different from typical moving procedures. That is why a quiet and calm move, along with respectful handling, is required.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Transfer of Your Remains

Can you only transport the remains?

No. Our company cannot accept the single transport of only the remains of a passenger automobile carrier (as luggage). We will always require that the remains be transported with a family member or relative, and we will carry them together. Having a loved one accompany your precious remains will give you peace of mind.

Can the driver be served in a suit?

Yes. If you let us know in advance, our driver will accompany you in a kimono. We strive to maintain a modest and calm demeanor that is appropriate for the funeral rites and the burial site.

Is it okay if there are multiple urns?

Yes. In ancestral graves, it is sometimes possible to relocate multiple remains at once. With a large vehicle with ample space, multiple urns and your relatives can all be transported in one vehicle, eliminating the need to move them separately.

Can it be transported to a distant cemetery?

We are happy to assist you. We can also arrange transportation for long-distance trips from Tokyo or Saitama to a new burial site away from the old cemetery. If the destination is within the coverage area of either the pickup or drop-off location, we can arrange transportation for the other location even if it is far away. Please let us know the destination for more details.

What are the necessary procedures for changing the funeral arrangements?

In principle, to transfer your remains to another location, you must obtain a “transfer permission certificate” from the municipality where your grave is currently located. It is recommended to plan about a month for the application for each individual remains, from preparing the documents to issuing the certificate. For more details, please contact the respective municipality’s office. To ensure that the permit is ready by the day of the transfer, please proceed with your schedule with sufficient time.

Can it be arranged in the early morning or during the day of the ceremony?

Yes. We also offer consultations for early morning pick-ups and waiting times to coincide with the closing prayer ceremony and the time for the burial. There are no additional charges based on the time of day.

Together, they will carry the remains from the old cemetery to the new burial site in a calm and dignified manner. Since the funeral arrangements take time, please plan ahead and make sure you have enough time for the journey.
