In the tree burial service here, a hole about 15 cm in diameter and 60 cm deep was dug and the remains were placed in the hole.
父→母の順番で死去しましたので、父の遺骨を最初に、その上に母の遺骨を収める、という予定でした。
Since my father died first, then my mother, the plan was to place my father's remains first, and then my mother's on top of his.
ところが、骨壺に貼ってあったマークを、担当の方が外してしまい、納骨直前にどちらの遺骨か分からなくなってしまいました。
However, the person in charge had removed the markings on the urn, and just before the bones were delivered, it was impossible to tell which remains were which.
姉と二人で、『こっちのような気がするな～』『うん、それでいいと思う』という会話を5秒間くらいして、遺骨の主を、その場で決定してしまいました。
My sister and I had a conversation for about five seconds, saying, 'This is that,' and 'Yes, I agree that", and we decided which is which on the spot.
現在、どの順番で納骨されたかは不明で、これからも不明です。
It is currently unknown in which order the bones were delivered and will remain unknown.
そんな訳で、私は、この父と母の墓所を、
That is why I call this cemetery of my father and mother as follows,
―― シュレーディンガーの父母
-- Schrodinger's parents
と呼んでいます。
