I recently started wondering about this too. I used to think it was just a creative title without too much meaning, but the other day I read this in an article about the personalization of funerals in Japan:

Quote:
The creativeness of this "funeral event" made me think of the deceased [his life] in depth. It had no incense offerings, no memorial addresses - not even greetings from the funeral committee. The funeral was refreshing to the extent that it did not seem like a funeral.
Do you think we can find a good definition? If we can find one, maybe we can put it in a FAQ. I think many people wonder about this.
