   Funeral shop
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The other day, my grandmother died at the age of 99.
She was a very energetic grandmother, so my relatives thought that she would live over 100 years old.
I was sad and at the same time she was really precious grandchildren, so I was filled with gratitude.

This time, the funeral was held only by relatives considering the influence of coronavirus.
And this time I researched about a funeral company.

Nowadays people can’t do funerals right away, so it’s an unpleasant story. I was thinking that Funeral shops are very busy.
But it seems that the number of bankruptcies at funeral homes was actually increasing even before the new coronavirus infection problem.
The reason is that we are unable to cope with the decrease in sales due to the miniaturization of funerals (increased family funerals and direct funerals).

Until the spread of the Internet, it was natural that the size of the funeral was large and the funeral size was 2 million yen to 3 million yen per funeral.
The market price seems to be around 1 million yen these days.
As a result of this situation, the number of places where the funeral industry is enduring at the same time as reducing the size and reducing costs has increased.
Sales declined due to postponement of funerals (advanced only for cremation) due to the new coronavirus, further straining management and several major funeral companies have gone bankrupt.

Explaining in a little more detail, at this time, people do not gather in one place and perform “overnight” “farewell” ceremony
There are an increasing number of cases where farewell ceremonies are held after the world has settled down after only cremation.
Of course, the number of cases of direct burial is increasing rapidly.
A funeral company does not produce sales and profits unless it holds the “ceremony”, so even if they do the number of direct funerals like the current situation, they will be in the red.

   Charge for shopping bags
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

From July 1st,
shopping bags have been charged at many stores.

When I went to a nearby convenience store for shopping,
there are stores that charge before July 1st.
they distributed free eco bags
to people who purchased over 700 yen.

I go to supermarkets with some my backs
Eventually we will have to buy a shopping bag
without being able to fit in.

After July,
“Shall I buy a big my bag or a large shopping bag?”
It may be “developing bag packing”.

   Mind stress check
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

More than half a year has passed
since the spread of the new coronavirus,
and even now with various stresses
Isn’t everyone living?

Not to mention fear of new coronavirus infection,
but being unable to go out, having lost income, etc.
I think there is always invisible stress.

In such a situation,
the government provided for checking the “heart stress level” in Corona
The special page has been opened
on the website of the Cabinet Secretariat.

Not only people who are aware that they are stressed,
but like me
Even if you think that you do not feel at all,
you may be stressed before you notice it
So why not get a diagnosis once?

Professional baseball aims for paying games with audiences from July 10

On June 19th, 2020 professional baseball finally started.
The games will be held with no audience for a while, but as a result of discussions by experts, from July 10
We aim to open the door.
Depending on the infection status, it seems that up to 50% of the capacity can be entered after August 1.

The final adjustments for the US Major League Baseball are also in preparation for the opening of the end of July.

Taiwan Professional Baseball, which opened the world’s earliest, began to lift the spectator restrictions from June 7.
Initially it started with a limit of 2000 people, with 9,138 fans watching Taiwan Professional Baseball last weekend.
A new world record for the number of spectators this year has been set.

I want to hear the cheers of a full baseball fan at the stadium as soon as possible.

   Suspension of publication
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Japan’s oldest comprehensive camera magazine “Asahi Camera” is currently being published.
It will be suspended with the July edition released on June 19th.
Now is the time when everyone takes pictures with smartphones.
It is said that the reason for the suspension of publication is that the advertising revenue for cameras etc. has drastically decreased.

My relationship with “Asahi Camera” is relatively old, and since my hobby father loved to read the camera, I was familiar since I was a child.
I still remember the impact of the nude photos that I sneaked at when I was a child.

After that, I started taking pictures as a hobby, and my father gave me an old film camera, and I was crazy about the camera.
At that time, I also read “Asahi Camera” and learned a lot about cameras, lenses, and films.

It’s a pity that the magazine with memories of my father has been closed.
I am now happy for reading it as an adult, which was love reading by my father.

It’s very convenient to be able to do anything with a smartphone,
I wanted to take an old camera out of this and take a picture.

   Working from home
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I started my career from Haneda airport office at the age of 22
and engaged in this industry for over 50 years including overseas.

I am confused and bewildered a lot at the beginning
because it is my first experience working from home,

but with the support of the people around me,
I managed to do it.

An environment similar to that of an office has been created,
both in Japan and overseas.

We do not compromise service.

The fact that they can’t work
while looking at each other’s faces is a reduction in their strength.

I think,
but it is also the situation
that other companies are surpassing it, so often
We are trying to make in-house telephone communications.

Not only in the logistics industry,
but also in the unprecedented crisis of the world economy,
How to survive is an issue for each person.

1930 The Great Depression has no clue to the corona
Depression is a concern.
