Brief history of crematoria and mourning halls, modern cremation history
Original language description
Crematoria and mourning halls were part of architecture in cities for many decades in some European countries. This work focused on their evolution within a relativelyshort time, from 1876. The creation of these buildings is closely related to religion and laws in each country, so many aspects had to be considered before their realisation. The work was focused on Europe but it also deals with some world countries, which developed this kind of buildings as well. Crematoriums and mourning halls were often the last space where family or the bereaved spent time with the dead, hence to make this space satisfactorily convenient and beautiful, a discussion of its historical background and further direction is needed. These buildings for mainly secular funerals were often compared to religious funerals in churches. The main question was whether a mourning hall could replace the sacral space of the church and bring the same ritual moment during funeral. The paper considered big political, historical and religious forces which created these buildings for modern cremation that have nothing to do with an old cremation ritual of antic nations any more.
