The form, style and volume of funeral chapels vary and depend on the religious denomination. For aesthetic reasons, it is good when the tombstones surrounding the chapels correspond with them architecturally. Statistically, among them dominate those conservative and historicizing or actually erected in the distant past, but there is also an increase in modern, unconventional objects, such as crematorium in Zorvglied cemetery in Amsterdam - stands out not only for its structure and material, but also for its versatility, as it was designed with mourners of different faiths in mind. What's more, its vertical structure symbolically alludes to the motif of the wandering of souls to a better, otherworldly place.
