My condolences Paul...
Soto Zen funeral rites are the standard for all Buddhist Schools in Japan and most funerals are still Buddhist.
Shintoism and life? Other than it was a state religion and was more ingrained with daily life, no idea.
If you learn more about Buddhism, namely Zen, it isn't associated with death.
