Description

Contrasting with the existing historic cemetery, Milne Construction's 11th project built for The Green-wood Cemetery is a u-shaped building comprised of a series of sunlit alcove pavilions which surround a koi pond. A neo-Japanese bridge, glass memorial pyramid, and fountain basin soften the exterior transition to the columbariums. Detached landscape niche walls, and garden features add to the lush and peaceful ambience. The columbariums feature exposed mahogany roof decking, blue stone flooring, glass, bronze, and rich multi-hued marble niches.
