What does the hotel mean?

The mechanism of temporarily storing the remains to be cremated in ordinary rooms.

With the aging of Japan's population, the number of deaths is increasing every year, and the supply of crematoriums is in short supply, so that many bodies of the deceased are "overstocked" and it is too late to be cremated. In response to this demand, Shoo Takeling, a businessman from Kawasaki, Japan, opened a "remains hotel" on 20 14 to temporarily store the remains waiting for cremation in ordinary rooms.

The family members of the deceased only need to pay 9,000 yen (about 548 yuan) a day to store the remains of the deceased in this "remains hotel" until they find a "still available" crematorium, and then send the remains to cremation. However, this hotel in Zhu Ling stipulates that the storage time of the remains should not exceed 4 days at most.

According to Japanese government statistics, with the aging phenomenon, the number of deaths in Japan is on the rise every year, and it is expected to reach the peak of 1.7 million around 2040. By then, unless Japan allows a large influx of immigrants, the total population of Japan will be reduced by 20 million.
