A funeral home with a drive-thru window will open in Nagano Prefecture on Sunday, allowing mourners to pay their respects without getting out of the car.
The operator of the Aishoden funeral home in Ueda, a medium-sized city in the central Japan prefecture, said the drive-thru window is the first in Japan.
It is primarily aimed at allowing seniors and the disabled to attend funerals, but may also be used in future by people short on time.
During a tour of the home on Saturday, local residents lined up to get a look at their city’s latest innovation.
Drive-thru mourners can stop their cars next to the window and enter their names and addresses on a device given to them by a receptionist.
