Crématorium-columbarium du Père-Lachaise
Crématorium-columbarium du Père-Lachaise, Crematorium building in Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, France.
The crematorium features a Byzantine Revival architectural style with a central dome and multiple columbarium walls holding thousands of funeral urns.
Inaugurated in 1889, this crematorium marked a shift in Parisian burial practices as the first municipal facility offering cremation services in France.
The columbarium houses the remains of numerous French intellectuals and artists, contributing to the cemetery's status as a memorial destination.
The facility provides both cremation services and storage niches for urns, with specific visiting hours from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM daily.
White lines stretch across the grass near the crematorium, representing scattered human ashes that naturally integrate with the soil.
