Krematorium Sihlfeld D, Crematorium in Sihlfeld Cemetery, Switzerland.

The building features a square-based ceremonial hall topped with a flat dome and incorporates natural lighting through large windows.

Operating from 1915 to 1992, this facility replaced Switzerland's first crematorium and later transformed into a funeral chapel within Zurich's Sihlfeld Cemetery.

The interior contains detailed sgraffito murals and an organ built in 1914, later modified in 1945 to include 25 registers.

The main ceremony hall accommodates 290 people and includes wheelchair access, audio systems, and microphones for funeral services.

The building maintains its original architectural elements while serving as both a columbarium and a modern funeral service facility.
