Defined by a formidable concrete wall to the south, the site traverses three distinct levels, seamlessly connected by two gently winding ramps. Upon arrival at the initial terrace from the adjacent municipal road, visitors are greeted by a single-storey concrete structure with an encased oak urn wall. Midway through the site, the visitor pauses where the two ramps change direction. Here, a sheltered outdoor sitting niche beckons with a strategically placed window and a serene water feature, crafting a moment of tranquillity that counters the upper building's presence. The journey through the cemetery's terraces finds completion as the visitor ascends back to the first level via a small staircase, guiding them to the entrance. This gentle circulation contributes to the solemn ambiance of the grounds, inviting contemplation within the serene embrace of nature and architecture.
