THE CHAPEL AND CREMATORY. 
JSyorgreen Cemetery, Los Angeles. 
are located the ante-rooms to the cre- 
mating chambers and the thirty-six re- 
i ceiying crypts. The latter are construct- 
ed of iron and^ concrete, and are practi- 
cally indestructible. 
The Crematory itself is of the modern 
construction, and as the result of care- 
ful experiments has proven, very suc- 
cessful in action. The fires are fed by 
oil burners, and this method presents 
none of the objectionable features some- 
times present in other modes of inciu- 
' eration. 
Phis Chapel and Crematory are coni- 
])lete in every particular that makes for 
architectural fitness and practical utility. 
It was designed by ,\rchitect ,\rthur B. 
Itenton and Engineer TIenry E. Brett, 
experts in this line of work. The chapel 
has a seating capacity of over 200. 
The plan as may he seen from our 
reproduction includes a convenient sys- 
tem of curved drives, with a layout that 
gives every lot a frontage on a drive. 
The ])rincipal points to be taken into 
consideration in the use of grounds for 
cemetery juirposes and the estalilishment 
of a cremator}-, are distance from the 
city they are intended to serve, the con- 
dition of the soil, and its adaptability to 
plant growth, the supply of water, the 
roads that lead to the burying jilace, and 
the modes of transportation. 
Careful attention -to all these consid- 
erations was the aim of the founders of 
Evergreen, who selected this tract just 
three miles from the center of the city, 
and the development of the cemetery 
has justified their selection. 
J. M. Elliott is president of the asso- 
ciation and C. Ohnemuller superin- 
tendent.
