A-Tie Corp Achieves No.1 in Eternal Memorial Sales for Four Consecutive Years

A-Tie Corp, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has been recognized for its outstanding sales performance in the eternal memorial segment. The company, which specializes in consulting for temples, has obtained the No.1 position in the sales of eternal memorials for four consecutive years, according to data from Kamakura Shinsho's portal site, "Ii Okabaka".

Overview of the Recognition

The distinction was awarded based on a survey conducted over a period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024, which examined the sales figures of eternal memorials across various companies listed on the website. With more than 10,000 cemeteries and burial sites featured, "Ii Okabaka" serves as one of Japan's largest portal sites for cemetery information, providing potential buyers with ample resources and comparisons to find the most suitable memorial options.

Understanding Eternal Memorials

Eternal memorials represent a modern solution to ancestral care, where temples manage and oversee the memorial sites on behalf of families indefinitely. While traditionally in Japan, burials were family matters passed through generations, the aging population and changing family dynamics have made it increasingly difficult for some to uphold this tradition. Eternal memorials not only often come with a lower cost than typical burial arrangements, but they also alleviate the burden on family members, ensuring loved ones can rest peacefully without the weight of upkeep on their survivors.

This service also addresses a growing societal concern regarding abandoned gravesites. Recent statistics show that the number of reburials – moving the remains to eternal memorial sites – has reached 160,000 cases, marking a record high.

A-Tie's Commitment to Societal Issues

A-Tie Corp, in collaboration with partner temples, actively seeks to resolve societal issues related to ancestral burial practices through the promotion of eternal memorials. Our comprehensive services range from memorial establishment to customer acquisition and sales management, all executed seamlessly on behalf of the temples.

Supporting Temples

We help temples navigate the challenges posed by decreased engagement with the community and shrinking membership, all while creating opportunities for increased revenue through more memorial services and rituals. A-Tie covers all initial costs necessary for establishing eternal memorials, allowing temples to integrate this solution effortlessly without placing additional burdens on their regular operations.

Supporting Users

For individuals facing the pressures of changing lifestyles or the inability to care for a traditional grave, the eternal memorials we offer require no annual maintenance fees. They provide peace of mind as families can delegate both care and management of the memorial site. Users are empowered to choose the memorial that best suits their location and preferences from our network of about 100 affiliated temples across Japan. Our dedicated staff facilitates everything from guidance to assistance with interment and memorial ceremonies, ensuring there is support available for those in need.

Expanding Our Efforts

Additionally, A-Tie is committed to the survival and continued relevance of temples beyond just selling eternal memorials. We assist temples through event planning, operational support, website development, and logo design, fundamentally aiming to help them maintain viability even after reaching the quota of memorial sales.

Our Vision for the Future

A-Tie Corp operates with a forward-looking philosophy focused on creating a positive aging society. We believe it is crucial for everyone to feel safe and hopeful about the future. Thus, our core mission is to provide services that bring comfort and joy, inviting partner temples to join in this vision. Together, we can pave the way for a harmonious future in ancestral care.
