Principal sculptors Thomas Ducket and Henry Apperly worked on the elaborate carvings that were a feature of the stations, including angels, cherubs, and gargoyles.

Trains left from the main terminus platforms over the final ten years of the funeral rail service.

There being no call for the rail hearse, the Mortuary Station ceased to function in the capacity of its original purpose.

[2] Subsequently, the station has occasionally been used as a venue to launch special train services and informative displays,[4] and as a hired function centre.

As part of the construction of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest, a bridge was built across the southern end of the platform in 2018.

It consists of a long low-roofed pavilion of nine bays converting a single railway track that enters and leaves the building through a wide Gothic arch at either end.

An octagonal pavilion of open arches serves as a port cochere on the street side of the platform; its steeply pitched roof resolves into a delicate fleche, which rises above the rest of the building to give the station a landmark character.

The outer wall of the platform pavilion (on the eastern side of the railway track) is composed of nine great arches on banded cylindrical columns with leafy capitals.
