Taipei City Mortuary Services Office Second Funeral Parlor Phase II Renovation Project
In response to growing public demand for mortuary facilities in Taipei, the renovation project includes a Type-A hall, four Type-B halls, eight Type-C halls, four Type-D halls, a forensic autopsy room, a worship hall, a multi-functional space, a mortuary cabinet area, and a passage for deceased transportation. The project also involves moving parking facilities underground and internalizing public transportation routes. Comprehensive planning and assessments were conducted based on site characteristics and nearby traffic conditions, with special consideration for operational vehicles and short-distance ceremonial setup logistics. To ensure smooth traffic flow for mourning families, vehicles, and crematorium access, the project adopts a pedestrian–vehicle separation strategy. The building exterior is designed to break away from traditional stereotypes associated with mortuary architecture. Warm color tones were chosen to balance the functionality and sensitivity to users, mourners, and community perceptions. The design is harmonized with the existing structure (the Jingyang Building Phase I) and the surrounding environment to create a unified visual identity. Completed on February 29, 2024, this facility now serves as Taipei’s primary venue for mourning services, fulfilling the city’s comprehensive life-cycle service needs—from birth and aging to illness and death—helping to bring dignity and completeness to the final chapter of life.
