INTERIOR DESIGN

​

The Country Hills Crematorium includes offices, preparation and dressing rooms, two retort rooms, a family lounge, conference rooms, a casket room, and two large memorial/reception rooms.

​

• Memorial/reception rooms can be subdivided to create up to four separate rooms. Two of these rooms include curtained windows providing views of the retort rooms.

• A kitchen includes service windows facing out into one of the memorial/reception rooms.

• Finishes were selected in respect of the solemnity and dignity required of the building's program.

• Bright, clean finishes contrast with dark wood accents; this aesthetic is particulary effective in the welcome lobby, which is flooded with natural light via a skylight.

• The lobby includes a waterfall incorporating a stone veneer feature wall.
