人は心
先日、会葬に行った際に「人は心」だと改めて感じました。結婚披露宴は、主催者側が招待をして行われますが、葬儀に招待状はありません。「人」が「人」を想い、偲び、『感謝の気持ち』で自ら会葬に出掛けていくものです。
この度の葬儀は千人以上の会葬があり、故人と、その家族方々の人間性を垣間見た気がします。人は亡くなった時にその人の「生きた証」が見えます。喪主様とは、今は亡きお父様の代からお付き合いがあります。とても、人望があり、勇気がある、素晴しいお父様で、事あるごとに何かと私にお声をかけてくださいました。また、お父様の三千人規模の葬儀も、弊社で挙げていただきました。この度は、喪主様のお母様の葬儀でしたが、ご主人が亡くなりしばらく経つにも関わらず、本当にたくさんの方々が会葬に訪れ、「人の心」に触れた貴重な時間でした。『人はみんな義理固い、情があるんだ』と嬉しくなりました。『人情』『人は心』ですね。
ジットの総務部社員に、勉強の為に会葬案内をしてもらいました。彼女は、葬儀の中で一人浮いていました。会葬に訪れた方々へのお礼のお辞儀も、彼女だけが浅かったのです。セレモニースタッフは、喪主様と一緒に故人と会葬者の心を繋ぎます。ですから自然とご親族と同じ気持ちになります。そうなれば、葬儀中の振る舞いも感謝の気持ちが溢れます。セレモニースタッフとして葬儀に立ち会った事で、彼女はひとつ勉強しました。 冠婚葬祭、どんな時でも『感謝の心』をもつことです。『感謝の心』がなければ想いは伝わりません。 人は心 感謝の心は一番大切です。
「人は心」です。ジットグループは心で商品、サービスを創造する会社です。全ての事に心ある行動をお願いします。見えない心が見える行動に表れます。
People are the Core
The other day I attended a funeral ceremony and felt once again that “people are the core.” In the case of a wedding reception, the host will send out invitations for the event; a funeral, however, has no invitation. Rather, the attendees think of the deceased and, with a feeling of gratitude [toward the deceased], voluntarily attend.
This particular funeral witnessed the presence of over one thousand guests and those in attendance could see the humanity that had been present in the deceased as well as was present in his family. It is when a person dies that you can see the proof of his existence. The chief mourners at this funeral came from the deceased father’s generation and told me what a popular, brave, and wonderful man the deceased had been.
We have already mentioned the funeral at which over 3,000 guests were in attendance. Despite the fact that the deceased’s husband had been dead for quite a while, many of his aquaintances also attended her funeral. It was a truly moving, precious time and I was happy to see the strong sense of duty in those present. This truly is [an example of] humanity and [the idea of] “people [as] the core.”
[Recently,] one of our general affairs employees studied funeral guidance. During the course of the funeral, she became separated [from the other Ceremony staff] and her bow to the guests was rather shallow. Ceremony staff connect the hearts of everyone present – whether the chief mourners, the family, or the deceased – and therefore must naturally feel a sense of kinship with them. If they can do this, a sense of gratitude will overflow. This employee studied one aspect of [what it means to be] a Ceremony employee at a funeral. No matter what the occasion, it is important to have a grateful heart. If you don’t, your feelings and thoughts will not be communicated. The most important thing is [to remember that] people are the core and to have a grateful heart.
