Bereavement carries emotional and financial costs, and funeral directors often shape the early grieving experience. This session presents findings from a national survey in Japan exploring how funeral practices affect grief, well-being and reliance on medical and social services. Results show that abbreviated funerals can increase psychological and physical symptoms, while meaningful rituals support resilience. Attendees will gain insights into improving funeral experiences, enhancing client satisfaction, and understanding the broader societal impact of bereavement care.
