The main facade showcases a central projecting curved portico supported by slender stone columns, which holds a flat roof. It features central double panel doors flanked by two casement windows on either side, all adorned with blind arched heads. Above the portico, there are five small square windows, with three similar windows on each side.

The other three facades are similar in design, each featuring three tall and narrow central windows on both floors, with the lower row having blind arched heads. On either side of both floors, there are rows of three square windows with raised brick surrounds.

The central dome is supported by 24 short stone columns and has 24 small casements, culminating in a shallow copper dome topped with an elongated circular cupola and a copper finial.

Inside, the ground floor consists of a series of marble-lined rooms connected by segmental arches. These rooms are adorned with remembrance plaques for those who have been cremated. The interior includes a foyer that displays memorial tablets for those who died in the war.
