Holy Cross Chapel

The Holy Cross Chapel stands as the largest ceremonial space within Skogskyrkogården cemetery, featuring white walls and modern architectural elements throughout its structure.

Architect Gunnar Asplund designed the Holy Cross Chapel, which opened its doors in 1940 as part of the Skogskyrkogården cemetery complex.

The interior of the chapel contains a significant painting by artist S Erixon, reflecting Swedish religious and artistic traditions of the mid-twentieth century.

The chapel accommodates 300 people and provides facilities including wheelchair access, hearing assistance technology, an electric piano, and designated parking for visitors.

The chapel maintains specific post-ceremony practices where flowers are not placed within the building after services, following local burial traditions.
