Fort Worth families visiting a funeral home have grown used to spaces built around cost rather than comfort. Greenwood set out to prove there was a better way.
A 180-foot visitation corridor runs the center of the building, lit by clerestory windows and opening west toward oak trees roughly 80 years old. Beneath the media wall’s TV shelf, a subtle bubbler fountain rises through a bed of river rock, filling the lounge with the comforting sound of moving water.
Design Process
The master plan, a section through the columbarium and chapel, and a materials study trace how a Catholic cemetery’s first phase took shape around light, permanence, and remembrance.
Catering, florals, and deliveries move through hidden back-of-house corridors, so a visiting family encounters nothing but their own quiet space.
Three small meeting rooms sit off the corridor for visitors with quick questions, fitted with glass that shifts from clear to private at the touch of a switch.
