Krematorium Nordheim, Municipal crematorium in Zurich, Switzerland
The Nordheim Crematorium stands as a substantial facility in Zurich, featuring two ceremonial halls decorated with Rosso Verona marble and glass mosaics throughout the interior.
The facility opened in 1967 after extensive planning, replacing the older Sihlfeld crematorium which had served as Switzerland's first cremation center since 1889.
The main ceremonial hall contains a 26-register organ from 1967, while the second hall houses a smaller organ installed in 1966 for musical accompaniment.
The crematorium provides guided tours for groups of up to 25 people from January to November, with sessions available at 9:30 and 14:00 on weekdays.
The facility operates six electric cremation furnaces and maintains specialized areas for storing urns, including a dedicated section for individuals who donated their bodies to science.
