end of the annual crop cycle. The day was believed to be the moment when
the souls of the dead would travel to the underworld, weakening the barriers
between the living and the dead.
In the modern Christian calendar it precedes All Saints Day, a day
dedicated to honouring all of the dead saints. Other cultures also celebrate
a day of the dead at this time of year, with cemeteries often at the heart of
the celebrations and activities.
Although Christian cultures once buried their dead in the grounds of their
parish church, changing attitudes in the 18th century compounded by the
population explosion in cities in the 19th century brought about by the
industrial revolution and subsequent overcrowding led to the creation of

These cemeteries became a focus for a new kind of monumental memorial
architecture. This was particularly evident in areas of the world under the
influence of the British Empire, whose architects indulged in creating

Today's contemporary cemetery structures and crematoria of note are
usually built in a minimal or Modernist style, generally featuring exposed
raw materials like brick, concrete stone or marble. Walls are often
whitewashed and decorative elements are rare.

steel columns alternate with floor-to-ceiling glass to create stripes of light

"The materiality generated by the assortment of exposed structural element

textures together with the natural light qualify and determine the

framing two private courtyards and stone walls to "block off" the cemetery

The new building sits in a clearing 150 metres from Asplund's 1940s chapel,
which can't be modernised without making major changes to the protected
structure.

time. The steel and concrete structure is topped with a copper roof, which
includes a continuous skylight that follows the route of a visitor attending a
funeral, through the building to the graveyard of the older adjacent church.
"The chapel's architecture is a depiction of the passage of a Christian soul

from here to the hereafter," said the architects. "The whitewashed masonry
walls and a continuous skylight next to it lead from one space to the next,
from the low and dark to the lofty and light." Find out more about this

Lined with stainless steel panels, this pre-fabricated family tomb occupies a
plot inside a cemetery on a mountainside in Arganil and is clad in softened
black granite. It has capacity for eight coffins, with the central plinth used
to support coffins during ceremonies and offer a seat with views over the
surrounding landscape. A cruciform aperture is cut into the roof.

Located on an industrial site, the fortress-like concrete walls of this
crematorium one of the first public buildings of its kind in Lithuania
are punctuated by dozens of square windows that are scattered across the
facade.
A cluster of windows reveals the location of a private courtyard behind the
perimeter wall, which also parts in two places to create entrances.

"To make a path for the first crematorium in Lithuania wasnt easy," said
the architects. "In order to distance itself from the industrial environment
the building was designed closed like a human introvert." Find out more

Bernardo Bader Architects used exposed red-tinted concrete for the main
structure of this prayer building at an Islamic cemetery in the countryside
of the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, which opens out onto a series of
staggered graveyards.
The simple rectilinear building features a long rectangular window across
one facade, screened by a latticed oak framework that displays one of the
traditional patterns of Islamic mashrabiya screens.

Each one contains several trees, benches and small patches of grass. Find

In the western Christian calender All Souls or All Hallows

follows at Saints Day rather than preceding it and its a day
for naming and praying for the dead. It would be
interesting to know how these settings continue to name as
part of visiting and revisiting.
