Yardenhuis in Amsterdam

Multicultural funeral home opens its doors

"Everyone should be able to say goodbye in their own way"

The Netherlands’ very first multicultural funeral home opened its doors in early February. The Afscheidshuis Amsterdam Zuidoost. It was preceded by a year of discussions between people from different cultures, religions, background and communities. PKW Architecten made the final design for this complex Yarden project. Both the facade and the interior have been adjusted to suit the purpose of the building: a place of reflection for different cultures, in the middle of a busy, inner-city environment.
