The chapel was built to designs by architect Arne Philip and consecrated on All Saints' Day, 4 November 1967, by Bishop Olof Herrlin. It was constructed as part of a larger complex that also includes a crematorium and cold-storage room, reflecting its practical role within the cemetery rather than that of a parish church for regular worship.
Architecturally the chapel is simple and modern, with whitewashed brick walls and white-painted concrete pillars and beams framing the interior. This restrained style is typical of Swedish mid-century ecclesiastical buildings designed for quiet, functional dignity rather than grandeur.
Inside, the altar and altarpiece were created by Staffan Rosvall. The walls are decorated with twelve metal and enamel artworks by Arne Fransson, each representing one of the twelve apostles; Fransson was also responsible for the chapel's crucifix. Together these works give the otherwise plain interior a distinctive devotional focus.
The chapel also contains a mechanical organ built in 1967 by Anders Perssons Orgelbyggeri, contemporary with the building itself. The most recent recorded renovation took place in 2002, when the heating and ventilation systems were replaced and the roof relaid.
