New Pet-Friendly Forever Memorials and Tree Burials in Annaka

In a pioneering move for pet owners, Eitai Co., a leading provider of forever memorials and tree burials in Japan, has announced the launch of a unique burial service at Fudoji Temple in Annaka City, Gunma Prefecture. Scheduled to begin accepting applications on January 10, 2026, this initiative aims to offer a serene resting place for both beloved pets and their owners in a beautiful, nature-rich environment.

The Importance of Pet-Friendly Memorials

As societal norms around memorialization shift owing to an aging population and diverse lifestyles, demand for innovative burial options has surged. Eitai Co. recognizes this change, and the introduction of tree burials and forever memorials at Fudoji Temple presents fresh alternatives for those looking to honor their beloved pets in a respectful manner while providing peace of mind for families.

Key Features of Fudoji's Burial Options

Fudoji Temple will provide several features with its forever memorials and tree burials, designed to cater to individual preferences:

1. All-Inclusive Plans with No Annual Management Fees

One of the standout aspects of Fudoji's offerings is that all plans include lifetime care and memorial services with zero annual management fees. This means that families from various religious backgrounds can choose Fudoji as their final resting place without the stress of ongoing costs, making it an attractive option for future generations as well as for honoring closures of older family plots.

2. Individual Burial Plots for Pets

Acknowledging the special bond between people and their pets, Fudoji Temple provides individual burial plots that allow owners to rest alongside their furry family members. This feature responds to the growing desire to cherish memories with pets in dedicated spaces that reflect their importance in life.

3. Scenic Tree Burials with Weeping Cherry Trees

The centerpiece of the tree burial area is a beautiful weeping cherry tree, symbolizing life and renewal. Families can enjoy a serene atmosphere while visiting their memorials, especially during the spring when cherry blossoms burst into bloom, turning the memorial site into a picturesque haven, perfect for reflection and remembrance.

Application and Free Consultation Opportunities

Starting January 10, 2026, interested families can apply for the forever memorials and tree burials at Fudoji Temple. To assist with any queries and ensure a smooth application process, dedicated staff will be available on-site for free consultations, allowing families to discuss their concerns and explore the ideal memorial options tailored to their needs.
