Abstract

In Japan is a total of sixteen sanatoriums for Hansen's disease, including national and privatefacilities. This paper reports a historical study of the crematoriums used at the death of patientsin those sanatoriums. In former times, each of many sanatoriums had a crematorium of its own asan attached facility, and this state has been studied in detail. It is then pointed out that in thesedays, the use of a nearby public crematorium is increasing because of the decrease in the discriminative and prejudiced view of the general public. The special circumstances as to the fournational sanatoriums still preserving attached crematoriums, have also been investigated.
