Now, they and their families are facing a serious issue: they can't find a final resting place. Cultural differences are one of the main reasons, as 99.9 percent of the Japanese are cremated. We take a look at efforts to create a society where everyone can be assured of a proper burial.Guests:Sahel Rosa (Actor)Ishii Kota (Writer)

Others are choosing to hold funerals and other rituals all over again. We take a look at the increasingly diverse ways people are sending off their loved ones.Guest: Ukai Hidenori (Monk/Journalist)
