What we can do for society
IMS JAPAN is a member of the Alpha Club Group, which established Japan’s first embalming center in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture in 1988.
We have continued our activities with the understanding and cooperation of the local community.
We will strive to contribute to society as embalming experts in times of sudden disasters and in our daily activities.
Disaster Assistance
There is a qualification called “Reserve Self-Defense Force Officer” who usually works as a civilian and performs duties as a Self-Defense Force Officer in case of emergency, such as when there is a disaster. We would like to cooperate mainly with the Reserve Self-Defense Force officers in case of a disaster.
Disaster SupportSend off without regrets
In times of disaster, the emotions of the bereaved families of victims are unimaginable. In many cases, the appearance of the house has been greatly changed due to external damage, dirt from rain and soil, etc.
In addition, while you are not prepared to say goodbye so suddenly, you may not be able to accept the time limit for the preservation of the remains, which is approaching every minute.
Through embalming, we can bring the deceased closer to the person they were before their death, and provide a relaxed time to say goodbye, helping to ensure a satisfying send-off with as few regrets as possible.
What is embalming?information campaign
There are many areas in North America and other parts of the world where embalming is common, but it is not yet so widespread in Japan.
In Japan’s aging society, there is a phenomenon that people are waiting for crematoriums in many places. In such an environment, we hold various events and study sessions upon request to explain that embalming exists as an option that allows people to send off their loved ones peacefully and tranquilly, and its effects.
IMS JAPAN dispatched embalmers to the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995 and the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 at the request of the Japan Institute for the Preservation of Human Remains (IFSA).
