Abstract
A plurality of storage sections include one or more reference storage sections each of which is defined to be a storage section that has an occupiable area at least a portion of which extends over a same positional range along the first direction as a portion of an occupiable area in the support position. A transport device includes a projecting and retracting mechanism configured to project and retract along the first direction a holding member configured to hold an object of paying of respects, and is configured to move the holding member toward a partition wall side along the first direction when moving an object of paying of respects to a reference storage section or to the support position by means of the projecting and retracting mechanism. The amount of projection of the holding member toward the partition wall side when moving an object of paying of respects to the support position is set to be greater than the amount of projection of the holding member toward the partition wall side when moving an object of paying of respects to a reference storage section.
