Overview

Yoriso provides consumer-facing end-of-life services including the packaged, nationwide-fee "Yorisou Oshoushiki" funeral service and the "Yorisou Obousan-bin" monk-dispatch service. The company emphasizes price transparency and IT to reduce information asymmetry in the funeral and memorials market. It reports more than 5,500 partnered funeral venues and over 1,500 partnered monks, metrics that have grown year over year. In 2023 Yoriso acquired the "O-haka Sagashi" business and launched "Yorisou Cloud", a cloud service for funeral companies, as part of a push to build a comprehensive "life-ending platform" covering end-of-life, funerals, memorials, and inheritance. The company is focused on DX (digital transformation) of the funeral industry and expanding platform services across the value chain. After the latest raise its cumulative funding stands at about ¥7.5 billion.
