A disused 1920s crematorium, in Romania. Its design blends classical planning with early modernist and Art Deco influences.

Eastern Orthodox belief, which rejects cremation in favour of burial, shaped funerary customs in early 20th-century Romania. Even today, cremation remains rare in Romania, accounting for less than one percent of funerals.
