This diploma project tries to cover the extra requirements of a big scale cemetery in the centre of Athens. The project is designed in a site, by the existing cemetery, on Ilioupoleos Av., where now lies a small local park.  The site is selected due to its proximity to the Central Cemetery.

All supportive facilities, the temple, the stores and the cemetery, are placed according to a ceremonial axis, which is defined by a super staircase and a pavilion.  By the inclination tries to be separated of its surroundings. This concept is also supported by the height variation of the different functions, which hides and reveals, on the same time, moments of the ceremony to the city.

The stores accommodate functions related to the burial ceremony, which now are located around the Central Cemetery. The churchin the central part of the composition, functions as a transitional element between the market to the cemetery and back, as well as  a parochial temple. At the end of the ceremonial axis lies a pavilion of fountains. All the other space is used as an expansion ofthe burial area.
