Funerary cremation, a practice originating in the distant past, is becoming more and more acceptable even in traditionally opposing countries, such as Greece. Nowadays, it concerns a personal, conscious decision that is not only related to religious or cultural reasons but environmental, health or economical ones as well. In our country, the lack of a modern crematorium, up until recently, forced many citizens to carry out the funerary procedures of their loved ones in neighbouring countries. The opening of the first private cremation facility in Ritsona Evia, in September 2019, and the expected launch of a public crematorium in Patras, a decade from now, prompted us to conceive and present a new proposal for a similar installation, located in north-western Greece. Its specific location is in Kato Kalentini, in Arta, near the artificial lake of Pournari, where the submerged settlement of Faggos creates a landscape both eerie and serene. The building's design lays emphasis on the precise division of spaces: corridors, where rough and smooth surfaces alternate, organise the floor plan in distinct zones depending on their function. Entering the premises becomes a gradual process since movement is being defined by large concrete walls. Natural light enters dynamically from the atriums, accompanying the visitor's meandering inside the building. On the exterior, the gesture of immersion is semantically tied to the mythological descent into the Underworld, while the enclosed garden is a place of contemplation, remembrance and, ultimately, mourning. Finally, taking advantage of the location and the slope of the plot, the semi-cave dining area offers an unobstructed view of the atmospheric lake, evoking the fabled lake of Acherousia.
