Hoppets kapell: The building was constructed in 1952 to designs by the architect Birger Borgström (1890-1964), who also designed Västerledskyrkan in Stockholm from 1932 and Råsunda football stadium from 1936. The building has been extended on two occasions, in 1984-1985 and in 2006-2007.

The visiting room for urns is mostly used during the winter, when urns cannot be interred. In this room, one can honour the memory of the deceased with a visit.

In addition to Hoppets kapell and Trons kapell, the building also houses a visiting room for urns, a crematorium and a cemetery administration office.
