- The funeral home of Dabas
The funeral home is located in Pest county and it was designed by István Ligervári and Zoltán Kovács, colleagues at KZ Architectural Office. The creators wanted to send a message in a modern tone. It represents contemporary forms in shaping and used materials as well. It is a metaphor that expresses the current relationship of people with earthly existence. The rising retaining wall symbolizes birth; the main mass is the accomplishment of life while the sliding wall symbolizes the gates of heaven. The interior is the “port” from which the leaving soul departs. The blue glass triptych, the translucent “soul bird” motif represents the “far bank” – the designers explained the conception. Here you can chose the funeral home.
