Since the manager Tony Fryklund was unavailable we were received most generously by mister Jan Larssen, a senior member of the technical staff. Besides the fact that it was a very nice interview, this turned out to be extremely interesting. We really got an in-depth idea of the functioning of the facility.

The crematorium is very beautiful inside and out but most strikingly it proved to be a very pleasant place to work. Bispebjerg is light, open and has a real humane quality while at the same time creating a spiritual and respectful atmosphere. This all the more interesting since in Denmark it is not very common for the deceased’s loved ones to attend the actual technical cremation.

At the time of our visit DFW Europe was working on a rebuild of the oven installations. The four ovens, who were originally built as pairs sharing their ‘backside’, will be rebuild as separate units. This was also interesting, the downside was that it made the exterior photography a little tricky.
