Crematorium Westerveld
1926 / W.M. Dudok

Duin- en Kruidbergerweg 6, Driehuis (Velsen)

In 1926 Dudok designed an open-air columbarium in Driehuis (Velsen) for the Westerveld crematorium; in 1939 a columbarium with an auditorium and one with an open urn gallery; between 1937 and 1941, a reception area with the director’s house; and in 1952 an extension for one of the columbaria. His series of mushroom-shaped urns is still in use.
