The Purist structure of the ceremonial hall has often been termed a landmark in the area of funeral architecture in Slovakia. At the heart of the symmetrical rectangular disposition is a side hall with a beamed ceiling and stone tiling. Connected to the construction of the ceremonial hall was the building of the exterior wall and entrance to the cemetery; here the architects used massive stone masonry combined harmonically with ferroconcrete elements.
