# The funeral booking had the family

2026-10-18

Ashikaga City says the crematorium reservation system may have lost about 8,800 user rows and 56 funeral-company records. Bookings are on the phone. A city letter is not a second incident at the national donation portal.

The booking sat on a city system. The family name is the field.

Ashikaga, Tochigi, said today that the crematorium reservation system was reached. About 8,800 user records may have left, and the records of 56 registered funeral firms. Reporting on the notice puts names, addresses, phones, and dates of birth on the user side, and contractor data on the firm side. The city has not confirmed misuse. Reservations are being taken by phone.

This is not Furusato Choice. The city also told its council that a thatch-roof crowdfunding page paused because that portal stopped. It said it does not think personal information left from that campaign, and that no donations had landed. Do not add a paused appeal to 8,800 funeral rows.

## What 8,800 will be asked to cover

It will be briefed as “the city lost every resident.” It is the people who booked the crematorium, and the firms that do that work. A date of birth next to a funeral booking is a script for a call that pretends to be the hall. It is not a family-register dump. It is not 4.45 million hometown-tax members.

If you booked Ashikaga’s hall, the fields the city listed are the incident. If you only live in the city, you are not in this list until they say so. Do not give an account number to a mail that already knows the date. The phone line they opened is for a slot, not for a reset.

Eight thousand is a booking book. Keep the donation portal in a different paragraph.
