BBC comprehensive sources such as the British " Daily Mirror " said that although the actual cost of the funeral of the Queen of England was not disclosed, it is said that the funeral of the Queen of England cost 8 million pounds (1.3 billion yen), while the funeral of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to cost 1.66 billion yen (10.67 million pounds).
BBC continues, but many people predict that Abe's funeral may actually cost more than expected, such as the Tokyo Olympics' final cost of $13 billion - about twice the initial budget.
report mentioned that a recent survey conducted by Kyodo News in Japan showed that more than 70% of respondents believed that the Japanese government has too much budget for funerals, and that about half of the funds are expected to be used to strengthen on-site security, and the other third will be used to receive foreign guests.
"The dissatisfaction caused by the 'Abe National Funeral' is aggravating the decline in the current Japanese government's support rate (the trend). At present, the Japanese government's support rate is the lowest level since Kishida Fumio took office." The BBC said.
