Terry Kaldhusdal, a reader in the USA, asked me to relay this info here, so this is his post, not mine:
"Thanking you for shedding light on a subject that has become taboo in American culture. I'm curious how long this practice of going to pokkuri temples has been active in Japan, or was it created with the advancement of medical technology? A man named Mike Bernhagen and I are currently working on a USA documentary about end-of-life issues in America onestepcloserfilm and intereted parties can find the film and us at Facebook, too. And we have a website, if you google it. It's become very clear to us that Americans treat death as a failure instead of a being a natural part of the life cycle. Thank you for giving us another perspective with this perceptive commentary about pokkuri."
