Grave Removal Contractor Chaos Map Released | Visualizing Service Structures Across 6 Categories [Fufu Co., Ltd.]

In recent years, the growing demand for 'hakajimai' (grave removal) has led to the formation of a complex market involving stone masons, administrative scriveners, lawyers, and specialized agencies. However, the differences in roles and scopes between these providers are often difficult for consumers to understand. To address this, Fufu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fujisawa, Kanagawa; CEO: Toshiro Takagi), which provides agency services for temple disconnection and grave removal, has created the 'Grave Removal Contractor Chaos Map.'

This chaos map visualizes the overall structure of the industry by organizing classifications, roles, scopes, and service models. The providers are broadly divided into three categories:

1. All-in-one Agency (Full Service): Handles administrative procedures, construction, temple negotiations, and new memorial arrangements. 2. Partial Contract Model: Handles only specific parts of the process, collaborating with users or other experts for the rest. 3. Specialized Professionals: Focuses on specific areas such as temple disconnection (lawyers), stone masonry, or administrative procedures (scriveners).

The release also explains the cost structure, estimating the total at 300,000 to over 1,000,000 JPY. Breakdown items include grave removal (100k–150k JPY/sqm), administrative procedures (30k–50k JPY), and disconnection fees (50k–200k JPY). This initiative aims to support users in choosing the most appropriate service based on their individual circumstances.
