In Japan, there is a hotel for the dead
In Japan, where the death rate is 0, 95 (global average - 0, 84) burial of corpses becomes a real problem. People are dying so frequently that the deceased constitute the queue for cremation. For those who are temporarily unable to bury the deceased family member or friend, 71-year-old businessman Hisayoshi Teramura opened the institution, which he calls "hotel for the dead».
Hotel named «Lastel» may take 18 "guests". Over 12,000 yen body was placed in a cooling "room" where everyone will be able to say goodbye to the deceased through a special hatch, and the "guest" quietly dolezhit due time before the cremation. The hotel is a great success, which is not surprising: to keep the deceased at home, where it is warm and usually little room no one wants.
