These days, as people cannot frequently gather and funeral halls are used as sites, Shonanoka (a memorial service on the sixth day after someone's death) which is supposed to be observed seven days later is in many cases observed just after the funeral on the same day.
現代においては、会葬者が頻繁に集えないことや会場が葬儀場で営まれることなどから、本来7日後に行なう初七日を引き続いて行なうことが多い。
