The brick-clad building was inaugurated in 2014. The building is designed to allow relatives who wish to participate in the actual cremation.
The purified smoke gases from the ovens are led underground all the way to the Woodland Crematorium’s old chimneys where they are are released.
The old crematorium became obsolete
When Skogskyrkogården’s original crematorium from 1940 became too impractical and worn out, the city decided to build a new one. A competition was held in 2009, and the proposal “A stone in the forest” won. The architects were Johan Celsing and Müller Illien Landschaftarchitekten.
