很多人会想象婚礼的样子，但是很少有人去思考葬礼。
你想象过你的死亡和葬礼吗？
你想思考生命的意义和价值吗？
或许你可以试试位于日本千叶县富津市的入殓咖啡馆。
这是日本一家老字号殡葬公司开的咖啡馆，为消费者提供躺入棺材的体验服务。
消费者花费大约两千两百日元就能使用这项服务，盖上棺材盖思考人生，并且打卡拍照。
听起来不太吉利，但是棺材上有花卉等新颖的设计，减少了人们的抵触情绪。
该公司推出此服务的目的是让更多人思考死亡和葬礼，同时也和年轻人们建立联系，探索新的殡葬形式。
这也是一个契机，可以让人重新审视与他人的关系，静静思考在寿命结束前应该如何生活。
此外，该公司也希望能通过咖啡馆的活动，改变年轻人对殡葬业的刻板印象，从而振兴整个行业的发展。
