SEOUL: More young Koreans are choosing to stay single, and this phenomenon is changing the country's funeral industry.
"In the case of South Korea, we used to put a lot of importance on tradition. In the past, funerals followed Confucian virtues, such as ancestor worship and filial piety. But now, the funeral culture has become simplified and convenient,” he said, adding that it will be further streamlined in the future.
"I would go for a natural burial because this way, I won't become a burden to others. And I can just leave without incurring any expenses when I die,” said mortuary science major Shim Jae-heon."I feel that I very much lack economic and other conditions and so I think it’s okay for me to live alone. I don’t like to ask people for favours and I prefer to do things on my own,” he said.
