could use some help

by laf7773

I'm researching the burial practice for samurai. I need to write a
paper and can't find any info on the net. I've found plenty on
japanese funeral services but i need to find out if it was the sme
for the samurai. I've heard of some being buried standingin full
armour, but believe this was only for those of higher rank. All
others were cremated. If anyone has any info on this subject i would
greatly appreciate any help you could offer.

Lane-
I cannot point you to a specific book but would look for books on
religious practice in the Meiji period. At that time there was a
resurgence of Shinto, a rejection of Buddhism and the influence of
Western practice. It follows that in a work on the subject, what had
gone before would be examined as well...-t
