Much thought put into new crematorium for Stockholm

A new crematorium being built on a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site had an imposing reputation to live up to, for it is being built in a woodland cemetery planted and designed by two of Sweden’s greatest architects.

Stockholm is a city renowned for developing beautiful buildings, the city is regarded as one of the most beautiful in the world with its historical architecture preserved and blended in with the modern, displaying the legacy and the current status of the city as the heart of what was once a kingdom and is now Sweden. It is no wonder then a new crematorium being built in the city will combine state-of-the-art design with seamless beauty. Read more

Stockholm is a striking city that seems to float on water -- part of it is built on a series of islands. It's been likened to Venice, with its location by the sea, its waterways and pedestrian-friendly bridges. It is dotted with parkland and refined architecture with patinated rooftops. The Old Town, with its cobblestone streets, evokes the 18th century.

As nice as it looks, Stockholm is more than just a pretty face. The substance behind its style comes from a long-standing appreciation for high culture. There are great jazz clubs, fine restaurants and more than a hundred museums.
