Memorial Garden, Kaimhill Funeral Home, Kaimhill Road

The Memorial Garden, Kaimhill Funeral Home, comprises a crematorium and halls of remembrance built between 1937 and 1939, designed by R Leslie Rollo in an Art Deco style. The buildings are situated within a memorial garden on a sloping site that falls to the northwest. The complex is single and two-storey, with a central, tall single-stage chapel rising prominently and incorporating a partially raised basement. The plan is rectangular, three-bayed. Construction is in bull-faced, squared and coursed pink and grey granite, with polished granite ashlar used for the porch and parapet coping. A band course runs across the facade, and some window jambs are polished and recessed. The roofline is stepped, terminating in coped wallhead parapets with flat roofs, and features stone mullions.

The northeast (entrance) elevation is symmetrical. The single-storey bays are accessed by steps leading to a central, canted porch, which contains a pair of boarded timber doors flanked by small windows set within a recessed face. Bipartite windows are located in the outer bays, and an access ramp is on the left. A taller, set-back bay contains three tall, narrow windows grouped towards the centre.

The southwest elevation is asymmetrical, dominated by a four-light, canted window creating a bowed bay, which rises into a further tower-like bay with a widely spaced tripartite window. Lower projecting flanking bays are present; the bay on the right has three small windows above three windows at raised basement level, while the bay on the left has three bipartite windows above a projecting blank raised basement, with a further single window to the right return.

The northwest and southeast elevations have varied, asymmetrical fenestration. The northwest elevation includes a raised basement with a vehicular entrance. Predominantly multi-pane timber casement windows are used throughout, with lead cames to the chapel windows. Some metal and plastic windows are found on the northwest side. Cast-iron downpipes incorporate decorative rainwater hoppers.

Inside the chapel, a granite catafalque is present, along with a raised reredos-style table, a timber-screened organ loft, and boarded timber dadoes and ceiling. The chapel is flanked by memorial halls, which have timber casket shelves.

The Memorial Garden is enclosed by flat-coped, stepped boundary walls constructed of random rubble. Two pairs of flat-coped, square-plan, bull-faced ashlar gatepiers, featuring quadrants and decorative two-leaf metalwork gates bearing the inscription "ABERDEEN CREMATORIUM" on the top rail, mark the entrance.
