Funeral (Buddhism) → Buddhist funeral – WP:NATURALDIS and WP:CONSISTENT (e.g. Islamic funeral, Roman Catholic funeral, Icelandic funeral not Funeral (Islam), Funeral (Roman Catholicism), Funeral (Iceland)). Also, the current title gives the misleading impression that the word "funeral" in Buddhism means something completely distinct from the ordinary English usage of that word. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 02:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Should the (possibly only Japanese) use of kaimyō at death be part of this article?
Is a new kaimyō at death common in Buddhism or is that only a Japanese custom or practice? See Japanese funeral and Dharma name both of which imply the practice of funeral homes selling kaimyō is only found in Japan. Should it be in this article?

I learned about kaimyō on a person's death from a story written in English by a Japanese author who wrote what I suspect is a common opinion about kaimyō in Japan:
 * To honor the dead is understandable but buying (honor) it seems wrong. It's all for the sake of saving face.
