The three concrete blocks share the same scale and off-white finish with the other buildings in the cemetery, while the niches, made from Zandobbio marble, mirror the shape and aesthetics of the existing amenities. The striated treatment of the exterior elevations also pick up the verticality of the colonnade of the adjacent structure and the perimeter wall pillars albeit while possessing a more abstract decorative quality that transforms the pavilion into a sculptural conduit of remembrance.

Although the sanctuary lacks any overt religious iconography, the internal space is, in effect, an extrusion of two crosses imbuing a symbolic sacredness while allowing mourners a clean slate to pay their respects and conjure memories. The design also allows for future expansion since, as the architects explain, "the three blocks define a serial and unitarian system, which can be repeated infinitely", which is indeed a comforting possibility vis-à-vis life’s precious brevity.
