I heard that in Japan, it is forbidden to carry the dead downstairs to earn money. Is that so?

There are more than 30 million elderly people over the age of 65 in Japan, with the lowest fertility rate in the world and nearly 5 million single elderly people.

With so many single old people, you can imagine how many old people die alone. It is impossible to carry the body by primitive manpower.

The first bucket of gold earned by transporting corpses is basically from some unreliable inspirational novels or legends.

Japan has a special occupation, which is to clean up the relics of lonely old people.

This kind of company specializes in services for the elderly, including carrying corpses, dealing with the affairs of the elderly, cleaning apartments, sorting out relics and so on. There is a detailed list of charges.

The picture below shows their working process.
