From the realism and eclecticism of the end of the Nineteenth century, to Art Nouveau and symbolism of the beginning of the Twentieth century, from the ‘30s to contemporary times, it is a real and extraordinary “open-cast museum”, where some of the best Italian artists are represented.

Projected in Doric style, and funded by the “brother” Alberto Keller(1800-1874), who was a  supporter of the cremation, the  Crematory Temple was the first crematory oven built in Europe. It takes significantly the name of "temple", adopting the Greek Doric-style to latch on to the traditions of classical and recover the dignity of the ancient ritual of purification. On either side of the hall there are two small lateral galleries, of which the one on the right contains a monument to Fedele Sala whose memorial statue represents a person inside a Masonic temple.

Emerging place in the graveyard, it is the Pantheon, dedicated to the memory of the most illustrious Milanese citizens. Throughout the years, the Chapel has been enriched with names and memories, as a great “honour book” given by Milan to its worthiest citizens.
