Korea, which has changed from burial-oriented culture to cremation culture due to the increase of cremation rate, preferred charnel: however, we have adopted the new processing method of cremated remains, 'natural burial' because of deterioration of charnel facility and the problems with imposed urns. Ashes are absolutely required due to the inefficient use of territory for charnel and natural burial and natural environment pollution, but this is out of legislative system in reality. This study will hold an investigation research on ashes that handles cremated remains which is not mentioned in 'Act on Funeral Services, Etc.' as well as investigate the present-condition of 'facilities for scattering cremated ashes,' as prescribed by law. As a result, there were 42 public crematoriums with a place for scattering cremated ashes, and the name of 40 of them were hill of grave. We conducted a survey to see if the workers at public cremation facilities in the Seoul metropolitan area knew about hill of grave, 'the facilities for scattering cremated ashes.' The result showed 95.9% knew about hill of grave and 88.2% answered some improvement was partially needed. Therefore, this study is to propose improvement measures for the scattering ashes facilities of public crematoriums based on the results of research and present investigation.

In the combustion of the pulverized coal compared with that of liquid fuel or gaseous fuel, serious pollutants such as ash, $NO_x$ and $SO_x$ are released to surroundings. The objective of this study is the reduction of such pollutants in the combustion process. The modeling of cyclone combustor which uses the method of two stage combustion was carried out. The main burner length, scattering angle and air/fuel ratio were considered as parameters. The results show that the shorter the main burner length is, the less the amounts of coals which exit the combustor directly are, but the scattered input of coal is required anyway in order to collect all ashes. It is recommended that the shorter the main burner length is, the less the scattering angle is. And in the case of the scattered input compared with no scattering, the temperature in the combustor is more uniform and the amount of volatile is more reduced.

A large amount of combustible household waste are incinerated on a large scale. Incineration ashes including flooring and scattering materials are generated in the incineration facilities. The incineration materials (flooring and scattering) are generated 16.5% of the total amount ashes brought into the incinerator. The amount of incineration materials decrease the landfill period of existing landfills and increase the needs for the construction of new landfills. This study introduces technical and institutional suggestions to solve increasing incineration ash problem by recycling them. As a technical recycling method, incineration materials can be recycled by producing earthwork materials and concrete products. In addition, the government and local governments will be able to promote recycling by improving related laws such as the Waste Management Act and by preparing active institutional support measures such as incentives for recycling companies for Green New Deal strategies.

Currently, social interest in post-cremation funerals is growing due to the establishment of cremation culture. In addition, as awareness of nature-friendly funeral methods spreads in modern times, the demand for tree burial grounds and tree groves, which are representative natural burial methods, is increasing. However, if the current method of relying on trees is used, the forest burial may damage the forest and turn it into another cemetery. The tree decoration is a funeral method that contains the temporal meaning of humans returning to the space of nature that we have, and the philosophical meaning that humans return in compliance with nature. Like this, there are quite a few concerns. Even though tree burials are not the traditional burial facilities we are familiar with, many of the facilities and operating systems adopt the standards of park cemeteries and have stricter standards and restrictions than natural burials under the law. This rigidity is intended to preserve the forest, but the reality is that it limits the expansion and operation of tree plantations. To this end, this study seeks to find specific improvement measures for sustainable tree plantation operation. To this end, we look at the types of natural fields in foreign countries and find directions for tree planting that can be effectively applied and established in accordance with the sentiments of the people. Specific improvement measures include an enshrinement method that does not rely on memorial trees, the operation of anonymous or anonymous tree planting, a change in the method of visiting and commemorating, and various mountaineering methods, thereby suggesting alternatives to sustainable tree planting in Korea. The place where tree planting is implemented is the forest, that is, the forest itself. I should be a place where the spirit of natural return, which is the essence of the deceased, can be celebrated through the forest, not a funeral facility. By doing so, it will be possible to provide the public value of the forest, that is, the social function of the forest, in the name of an eco-friendly funeral service.
