noun, noun or participle which takes 'suru'
interment; burial
Formal, literary term for burial or interment. Rare in everyday speech; more common terms are 埋葬 (まいそう) or 葬儀 (そうぎ).
故人は静かに斂葬された。
The deceased was quietly interred.
Rare kanji form; the word itself is uncommon and formal. No kana variant is commonly used.
Compound of 斂 (れん, 'to collect' or 'to put in order') and 葬 (そう, 'burial'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the spelling is conventionally associated with formal burial.
