Research Abstract	As background of Afforested Burial we may point out the cemetery succession issues in Japan, land issues in Korea, and graveyard management issues in Germany. Korea and Germany, the forests are managed to make it the Afforested Burial and existing trees are used as memorial trees. Forest is changed to cemetery in Japan and new trees are planted. Afforested Burial of Korea was created following the German Afforested Burial as a model. In Korea, however, Afforested Burial is influenced of the image of traditional cemetery. The similar image is found in Japan's Afforested Burial. Forest is recognized differently in each country. To bridge this different recognition in the future is an important point in the development of Afforested Burial.
