＜ A word of advice ＞
The body There have been deaths suspected of carbon dioxide poisoning from dry ice placed in the coffin when the body is laid to rest. When talking to the body, avoid inhaling the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the coffin.
Since the coffin is not sealed, carbon dioxide in the coffin leaks into the room. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Between the wake and the farewell ceremony, the bereaved family members, etc., may be on bedridden duty （ and incense burner duty ）, but as many people as possible should watch over them. Do not approach the casket if you have been drinking and are intoxicated.
If you feel sick while near the casket, move to a well-ventilated area immediately. Seek medical attention if you have symptoms and call 119 if it is an emergency.
If you are unsure about opening or closing the casket window or lid, check with the funeral director.
