The first crematorium we have visited on our tour was the one in Ringsted. Here we were received by director Tom Olsen who had just hosted a visit from his European colleagues only two weeks earlier!

Mister Olsen was very helpful and gave us a real insight in the cremation business and how the crematoria in Denmark are functioning. Besides this invaluable information he had a perfect example of crematorium architecture to show us around in. Needless to say this is a very inspiring building.

Head of design from Henning Larsen, Peer Jeppesen was also present. He told us how the crematorium was conceived from an architectural point of view. This gave us a great perspective of the design. At the same time he told us about the crematorium in Aarhus which was designed by the founding father of his office and we would visit two weeks later.
