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.
