Everyone who visits quickly realises that this is a remarkable building, possibly the most unusual and most instantly appealing of the many fine buildings within Arbroath. However, it is also very important on a national scale. It could claim to be one of the best buildings of its date in Scotland.

The building is also notable for its eclectic mix of styles, including reference to Scottish, English and possibly other precedents from East European Gothic. Every part of the building is important because every part received great care in design.

The Mortuary Chapel is located in the Western Cemetery about 25 minutes walk from Hospitalfield.

The chapel has one step on entering and the upper levels are up a number of stairs.

Dogs are not allowed inside the mortuary chapel (unless an assistance/guide dog).

Opening Times:
Visitors can see the interior of the Mortuary Chapel through the weekly tour of the Chapel. This takes place at 3pm every Saturday from April to October.

Entry Fee:
£10 per person. Children under 12 go free.

If you are interested in visiting Hospitalfield House also, there is an Adult Combined Saturday Ticket at £15.

The building was dedicated by Queen Mary on the 11th September, 1921 and comprises a square tower, with battlements and turret, built from local sandstone. It is a listed building, designed by T R Soutar, architect and constructed by Alexander Adamson and David Stewart.

On a clear day there are excellent views over Forfar, surrounding farmland, and the Valley of Strathmore to the Braes of Angus beyond. Nearby stands an indicator which gives the names and heights of the nearby hills and mountains.
