The town of Almudévar is in the region of Huesca, 18 km SW from the capital ,and is settled on top of an isolated hill.The plot of the building takes up a corner of an industrial area (Polígono del Canal) in the lower part of the town, where there are no clear urban references, and it is surrounded by industrial facilities. This location is quite disconcerting for a funeral home, for the visit to this kind of buildings is always difficult. Thus, the project had to put special attention in the tour that the visitors walk from the street to the funeral parlour, to say goodbye to their beloved ones, in order to allow them to keep their minds aside from such an inappropriate background.
