‘Dad looked as if in his prime’ – Last care for remembering
What is Angel Care?
In Japan there is a traditional ritual called ‘yukan’ in which the family gather and wash and cleanse the body of the deceased. At Care Service, we offer Angel Care in that we combine the ‘yukan’ ritual and our unique service for the family to have the last and memorable farewell.
