The neo-Gothic CHAPEL on the Roman Catholic cemetery behind the Roman Catholic church St. Joseph on the Hamersveldseweg was built in 1916 to a design by the architect H. Kroes. The chapel is situated at the end of the main axis in the south-eastern corner of the cemetery. The chapel has a floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross and has a basement. The roof, covered with slates in Maasdekking, consists of two intersecting saddle roofs with a roof turret at the intersection. A zinc finial has been placed on the four ridge ends. The facades are built of gray brick in cross bond. The four gables are flanked by a cut buttress that ends in a pinnacle. The pinnacles are provided with a crowning with a chevron-shaped ornament similar to that on the entrance gate to the cemetery. The front (west side) contains a large pointed arch opening with a frame in red brick. Above the opening is a medallion with a representation of the resurrection of Christ. Around the medallion and along the roof edge is a band of decorative brickwork in red brick. A partly natural stone pavement leads to the opening, closed off by a two-winged, rotating iron bar gate with a narrow, fixed fence on either side. The connecting posts of the gate are crowned with ornaments in Art Nouveau style. The central post is provided with a cross.
