Website: | Mortuary Chapel |
Situated in Arbroath's Western Cemetery in East Angus, the Mortuary Chapel was designed and built in 1884 by the owner of Hospitalfield House, Patrick Allan-Fraser (1813-96) as a mausoleum for himself and his family.
A grand edifice of neo-Gothic architecture, the Chapel has stonework, created by Fraser's stonemason, John Peters, unrivalled by anything in Scotland, including carvings of a traditional Highland funeral procession.
It was gifted to Arbroath Town Council as a non-denominational chapel.
