In the late 1870's a group of forward-thinking St. Louisans began
gathering to discuss the idea of constructing a building and
apparatus to perform Cremations in their city. These friends of
Cremation organized into what would become the Missouri Crematory
Association, which was incorporated in 1885. The Missouri Crematory
was completed in 1888 and was the tenth modern Crematory in the
United States. The beautiful Romanesque structure still stands
today with its imposing presence. Its rich history, unique
architecture and unmistakable place in the history of the city of
St. Louis have made this enigmatic structure a monument to those
who have been entrusted to its care, and to the Cremation movement
in the Midwest.
