收起來自己做，日本派遣僧侶業和亞馬遜說掰掰

In recent years Japanese families have turned to the Internet to find a Buddhist monk to perform funerals and memorial rituals. Since 2013, a service called “Obo-san bin,” i.e. “Mr Monk Delivery” has emerged. 近年來日本家庭開始到網路上去尋找僧侶服務，來處理親人的後事。從2013年起推出「和尚快遞（お坊さん便）」服務，派遣僧侶行業應運而生。

Ｍonks are happy with the arrangement, which has increased its overall visibility. So are many Japanese. Buddhist-style memorial services offered by temples comparable to the ‘’Mr Monk delivery’ can cost as much as 100,000 yen (US$ 825). And full funeral services are much more expensive. A basic plan for monk, transportation and a donation offered by the Tokyo-based provider costs 35,000 yen (US$ 300).

僧侶及日本人都樂見於這樣的服務，大大增加他們在市場的能見度。如果是透過寺廟的僧侶到家裡處理法事，價位可高達十萬日圓（825美元），如果是完整的喪禮服務要價更高。但如果是透過派遣服務，其中一間在東京的業者，交通費加服務費要價為35000日圓(300美元)。
