The manager Jochen Hupfeld received us to view the Krematorium Kassel. He had also brought a friend who was interested in seeing the crematorium and, as a special bonus to us, was so kind to interpret from English to German and back.

The crematorium is an autonomous modern building right next to the older chapel. Surprising to us was the fact that entering the crematorium you are at once in the cremation-room which can also be used for a small ceremony on request. The crematorium and the other facilities on the site like the chapel and morgue are connected on subterranean level.
