Gyokusenin Kaikan

Gyokusenin Kaikan is a funeral hall located in Ota-ku, Tokyo. Funeral Support Services uses this facility for visitation and various types of funeral services serving all faiths.

We have found that even though families may want their loved ones repatriated to their home countries, there may be times when a visitation period or funeral ceremony in Japan is desired. This is especially requested when someone has lived in Japan for many years.

We have experience dealing with all religions and faiths. We can offer everything from a traditional funeral service to a simple reception gathering.

Our personalized funeral services provide a meaningful time for the family while offering full respect to their loved one.

Funeral Support Services can offer facilities for visitations and funerals in Tokyo, Kawasaki, Yokohama and other areas of Japan when requested.

Service Options

Traditional Funeral Ceremony

A traditional Funeral Ceremony is generally defined as a service that includes a visitation period followed by a funeral service at a temple, mosque, synagogue, church or local hall.

This is followed by cremation at a local crematorium, repatriation to the home country or in rare cases a burial service in Japan can be performed.

Remember a Life Ceremony

The Remembering a Life Ceremony is generally defined as one which includes a formal gathering for a short period of time before the ceremony with personal mementos, photos and other remembrances present. One of the many values of this service is that it allows the creation of a service which befits the uniqueness of the person whose life is being celebrated.

Reception Gathering

A Reception Gathering is often a more informal time when friends get together and share memories with refreshments. Family and friends can enjoy the casual atmosphere and relaxing environment while gathering to remember their loved one.

This can take place with the body or cremated remains present if desired.
