In Japan, after the cremation, the cremated remains, or 'bones left after cremation,' are collected and placed in a Kotsutsubo (a pot for cremated bones) and buried in the ground (legally it is defined as 'the burial of the cremated bones,') or stored in an ossuary (Act Concerning Graveyard, Burial, etc., Article 2).
日本では、火葬の後の「焼骨」は骨壷に収（拾）骨され、土中に土葬（法律的には「焼骨の埋蔵」）されるか、納骨堂等に収蔵されることになる（墓地、埋葬等に関する法律第2条）。
