A Fukuoka-based company debuted tombstones for home. The mini-sized tombs to keep the bones of a diseased person are designed to suit the lifestyles of present-day families and solve the financial hurdles of building conventional tombs. The tombs are available in-store and online for ¥80,000 (including a stained-glass photo frame, other attachments, and shipping fee). Source: Yamano Stone
