| After the fiftieth Meinichi, a memorial service used to be held every fifty years, but in recent times it is more common for a Tomuraiage, a final service, to be held either on the thirty-third or fiftieth anniversary, with the afterlife name moved to the family register and the bones returned to the earth. |
五十回忌以降は、50年毎に行っていたが、近年では、三十三回忌または五十回忌をもって「弔い上げ」（戒名を過去帳に移し、お骨を土に返す）とするのが一般的になって来た。 |
