In Japanese funerary custom, it is considered important for the family of a deceased person to continue to tend their grave and make offerings there. However, this is not always possible - for example, if a person dies with no living relatives to mourn them, or in the aftermath of a disaster where remains cannot be identified. The gravestones of such individuals are collected together in mounds called "muenzuka" (無縁塚, "without-relations mound"). These graves are tended en masse by the local community, and memorial services are held to honour the dead.

- Remaining of Minakami Village in Fatal Frame II were enshrined together in the Old Tree, rather than in Minakami Cemetery with the other villagers.
