Nowdays in Japan, the vast majority of funerals are held according to Buddhist rites and bodies are cremated. The ashes are then usually interred at the family grave.

There are Shinto funerals but they are extremely rare and the average lay person has no idea about what is involved.

For the average person, rites of passage are divided between Shinto and Buddhist (perhaps with a bit of Christian thrown in). It is said that you are born Shinto (the first shrine ceremony is at 31 days), grow up Shinto (the ceremonies of Shichi-go-san......at 3, 5, and 7 years of age), marry Christian and then die Buddhist.
