Abstract
A storage facility for objects of paying of respects includes a partition wall located to partition off the support position from a respects-paying position for a person visiting to pay respects, a window member including a variable-light-transmittance member whose light transmittance is adjustable, an illuminating device for which an amount of light emitted thereby is adjustable, and a controller. A window for allowing the person visiting to pay respects to view an object of paying of respects is formed in an area, of the partition wall, toward which the object of paying of respects faces when supported in the support position. The window is provided with a window member. And the illuminating device is so positioned that light therefrom reaches the object of paying of respects supported in the support position. The controller is configured to increase at least one of the light transmittance of the window member and the amount of light emitted by the illuminating device as an object of paying of respects arrives at the support position through a transport operation of the transport device.
