The chapel and the surrounding cemetery were both designed by the landscape architect Per Friberg, who created the cemetery layout in 1973 before the chapel itself was consecrated in 1977 by Bishop Ingmar Ström. The site had previously been farmland and a wooded rocky outcrop, and Friberg's design incorporated both open ground and forest into the burial grounds.
A notable feature of the wider cemetery is a 300-metre watercourse with eleven small waterfalls, which descends towards a large reflecting pool. This landscaped water feature forms part of the setting around the chapel, reflecting the strong emphasis on landscape design throughout the site.
Inside, the walls of the ceremonial hall are decorated with paintings by Pär Andersson. In 2010 the chapel was extended with an additional room for memorial gatherings, built beneath one of the projecting roof sections in a style resembling a glazed veranda. The new room retains the original outer wall on one side, while a glass wall faces the open field to the west; it can seat up to 45 people.
Both the chapel and the cemetery have been protected as heritage sites under the Swedish Heritage Conservation Act since 1996, reflecting their recognised architectural and landscape value.
