The eight meter wide and five meter long solid structure is covered by a flat hipped roof. There are two doors to the building on the long side of the burial ground. The left one leads to the guard room and the right one to the tahara room . In the middle of this room is a stone Tahara table and in one corner there is a brick fireplace . Small rectangular windows give the room light.
There is still a wooden bier in the Tahara house .
