| Refs: | gg5 daij nikk etc. gg5 says "natural burial" but enwiki's article on the topic clashes with the kokugo definitions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_burial nipp for example: "墓地に埋葬せず自然に回帰させる葬礼の方法。広義では土葬，風葬，水葬，鳥葬などを含むが，日本では散骨（野山や海に遺 骨をまく行為）をさすのが一般的。" http://jairo.nii.ac.jp/0043/00008116/en https://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.1016/S1479-3709(05)08809-6 |
