A JAPANESE funeral parlour is set to offer relatives the chance to pay their final respects to deceased loved ones without leaving the comfort of their cars.
一家日本的殡仪馆将为死者亲属提供“免下车”丧葬服务，让他们可以在不离开舒适的汽车的情况下向已故的亲人致敬。
Funeral parlour：殡仪馆

Elderly mourners can register their names on a touchscreen tablet device and make a traditional offering of incense just by rolling down a car window — a process relayed to screens inside the venue for the grieving funeral host to watch.
岁数大的哀悼者可以在触摸屏上注册他们的名字，只需要摇下车窗即可制作传统的熏香-这个过程会转发到场内的屏幕，供悲伤的葬礼主人观看。

The initiative aims to speed up funeral services and also to give infirm relatives the chance to participate, said the firm’s president Masao Ogiwara.

“Older people may hesitate to attend a funeral because they have to ask for help to get out of the car,” Ogiwara said.
Ogiwara说：“老年人可能会犹豫是否参加葬礼，因为他们必须获得帮助才能下车。”

“But we want as many people as possible to be able to come to say farewell to their friends or neighbours,” he said.
