埼葛齋場組合, Regional cooperative facility in Hasuda, Japan
The Saikatsu Funeral Hall is a shared facility providing cremation and funeral ceremony services for three cities and one town across Saitama Prefecture. The site combines crematorium operations with ceremonial halls designed to accommodate traditional Japanese funeral rites under centralized management.
The organization was established in 1954, originating from a previous cooperative that managed an infectious disease hospital for Kasukabe Town and neighboring areas, which already included cremation services. This foundational structure expanded over time to serve the funeral needs of multiple municipalities in the region.
The facility reflects Japanese funeral traditions by providing spaces for both cremation ceremonies and memorial services under one administrative structure.
Families can book cremation and ceremonial space by contacting the facility by telephone or using the official online reservation system. It is advisable to reach out in advance to confirm availability and discuss the arrangements needed for the service.
The facility is governed by 13 assembly members whose positions are distributed proportionally among participating municipalities based on population and household size. This arrangement ensures that each city and town maintains fair representation in decisions affecting the cooperative's operations.
