Resumen:
An element of Western funerary culture that transformed customs imposed by Christianity was the introduction of cremation in the late 19th century. This practice disrupted traditions and gave rise to a new architecture whose ruling elements are the place of the crematory furnace and especially the chimney, which plays a fundamental role due to its size.This article1 explores the history of funerary architecture related to cremation in the Pante & oacute;n Civil de Dolores in Mexico City and how it has been transformed due to the limited recognition it receives as cultural heritage.
