越生斎場, Crematorium in Ogose, Japan
Ogose Crematorium is a modern cremation facility in Saitama serving five municipalities in the prefecture. The building contains multiple cremation chambers, lounges, and private spaces designed to accommodate families during ceremonies.
Operations began in October 1985, and the facility underwent complete reconstruction with a move to a new building in December 2018. This expansion allowed it to serve additional municipalities in the region.
The facility follows Japanese architectural principles with separate rooms for farewell ceremonies and family gatherings stacked vertically. This layout creates distinct spaces for different phases of mourning rituals.
Families can book cremation services through the official website and access equipped spaces for their needs. The facility is organized so visitors can easily find and use the areas they need.
Each cremation chamber connects vertically to its own farewell room and waiting area, an innovative spatial design in Japan. This approach allows families to move through all phases of the ceremony in one location.
