Freud Corner (Golders Green Crematorium)

[2] After the funeral, Freud's ashes were deposited in an ancient Greek bell krater from the 4th century BC which came from his large collection of over 2000 antiquities[2] (see below).

The ancient bell krater, now serving as a funerary urn, was later placed atop a black marble plinth, designed by Ernst Freud[3] and erected in the crematorium's Ernest George Columbarium.

The vessels containing their ashes are today kept on three-tiered white stone shelves erected on either side of the plinth with Sigmund and Martha Freud's funerary urn.

On New Year's Day 2014, Golders Green Crematorium staff discovered that burglars had apparently broken into the Ernest George Columbarium overnight and smashed the ancient bell krater containing Sigmund and Martha Freud's ashes in the attempt to steal the vessel.

[14] Freud Corner occupies a window niche, built in red brick, inside the crematorium's Ernest George Columbarium.

The white stone shelf to the left of the black marble plinth with the ancient Greek bell krater holds nine urns, as of 2021[update].
