BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an underground cemetery.

0002

[Prior Art] There are almost no artificial structures in cemeteries and cemeteries, and natural land is mainly used. Furthermore, there are concrete complex-style tombs such as temples and other above-ground buildings, but they are extremely small-scale and cannot have gravestones, and there are no large-scale three-dimensional structures.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In recent years, land prices in urban areas have skyrocketed significantly, making it difficult to secure new cemeteries. For this reason, the idea of creating an underground cemetery is being considered. What is required of a cemetery is
It is a place of peace that nurtures a rich heart, a place where people can talk with the deceased, and a place that serves as an eternal home where time passes. However, the image of underground spaces was dark and damp, which did not meet the above requirements.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned inconveniences and make efficient use of limited land by making effective use of underground space and in particular, sloped land that has not been used for other purposes until now. Our goal is to provide an underground cemetery that can create a clean, calming space, and provide a bright and friendly cemetery.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an above-ground building serving as a hall/entrance building at the foot of a sloping site, and also provides a multi-story concrete building in the ground of a hill that climbs the sloping site. It consists of an underground structure, with tombstones placed on slabs on each floor, the roof exposed above ground is made of glass, and a three-dimensional mausoleum with an atrium formed in the center of this underground structure. The gist of a ceremonial mausoleum is that it is connected by a tunnel passage that passes underground on a slope.

[0006]

[Operation] According to the present invention, by installing the mausoleum part underground on a hill that climbs a slope, it is possible to efficiently use a small amount of land, and the land above ground can be used for multiple purposes other than the cemetery, and the surrounding environment It also helps preserve the environment. Furthermore, by mainly using a multi-story concrete underground structure, we can secure a lot of space and create a traditional cemetery with gravestones.Also, since it is an underground structure, it is possible to visit graves regardless of the weather. Gravestones are also kept in beautiful condition without being exposed to the elements.
The grave will be clean and free of weeds. In addition, it is earthquake safe.

[0007]The multi-story concrete underground structure that is the mausoleum has an atrium in the center, and sunlight can be brought into the interior through the glass roof, making it bright even though it is underground, and has water and greenery. It becomes a place with a lot of moisture.

[0008] Furthermore, since the underground structure of the mausoleum can be accessed from the above-ground building built at the foot of the slope and through a tunnel passageway that passes through the ground of the slope, it is easy to enter and exit the mausoleum from the ground. This can be done smoothly without having to go up and down stairs.

[0009] Furthermore, by connecting the multi-story concrete underground structure that is the mausoleum part with a tunnel passage, the underground structure becomes less susceptible to groundwater pressure by using this tunnel part as a drainage channel and draining groundwater. This reduces the load acting on the surface and prevents it from lifting.
