Chapels and Crematorium

The Honkanummi chapel was inaugurated in 1956. The chapel building was completed in 1955, and it was designed by architect Erik Bryggman. The façade is adorned by a relief sculpted by Johan Vikainen. The chapel merges beautifully with its surroundings. The light that comes through the windows creates a delicate atmosphere in the interior.

The Honkanummi chapel consists of two separate funeral chapels, the large and the small chapel. The building is listed. The chapel also has a crematorium, a waiting room for family members and relatives, an urn handover room, and a room for the presentation of the deceased for viewing.

A photo ID must be presented when collecting the urn. The urn can be collected without a prior appointment. The urn can be collected during the crematorium opening hours.

When collecting the urn, you are welcome to leave your car on the crematorium parking lot. Signage to the crematorium can be found at the main gates.
