After a rather troublesome start of our visit, we were lucky to get a good impression of this crematorium which was designed by architect Henning Larsen and finished in 1969.

The crematorium exists of a small chapel directly joined with a cremation room. The crematorium was recently upgraded by the architectural company still wearing Henning Larsen’s name. The upgrade existed of adding a separate installation room behind the original building which is connected under ground. Also a mostly glass waitingroom was added in front of the entrance.

Even though it is very small, the historic atmosphere and perfection in all details provide a perfect ceremonial space. As in the Norwegian Haslum you see here that a good ceremonial space promotes its own use.
