Failure of suspension of disbelief

[semperfiona]

We finally watched the Heroes season finale last night, and my suspension of disbelief hit a wall. Not on the superheroics or the continuing bumbling idiocy of Mohinder Suresh but on a fine point of Japanese culture. Nobody is ever actually buried in Japan. Bodies are cremated, and the urn is buried. No fancy satin-lined coffins, no six-by-three burial plots. I've seen a few cemeteries in Japan, and they were both very small and very crowded, with markers nearly on top of each other.

Don't ask me why I didn't notice this during Kaito Nakamura's funeral.
