Chapelle-Charnier du cimetière de Sayabec - Charnel Chapel of the Sayabec cemetery - Sayabec, Québec - Charnel Chapels, Charnel Houses and Ossuaries on Waymarking.com

La chapelle-charnier du cimetière paroissial de Sayabec possède une bonne valeur patrimoniale. Sa valeur réside notamment dans son architecture. Érigé en 1956, ce petit bâtiment dont le sous-sol sert de charnier et le rez-de-chaussée, de chapelle, évoque deux tendances, soit l'emploi de formes traditionnelles signalant sa fonction religieuse et le dépouillement ornemental témoignant d'une certaine modernité. En effet, la chapelle possède une forme religieuse reconnaissable par son plan rectangulaire, son toit à deux versants, sa composition symétrique et son clocheton arborant des arcs d'ogive empruntés au style néo-gothique. En contrepartie, mis à part le clocheton et un arc gothique encadrant sa façade principale, la chapelle-charnier est dépourvu d'ornements appliqués. Le revêtement de pierre à bossages en granit, les ouvertures formées de blocs de verre encadré de pierre taillée lisse créent un dépouillement et une simplicité formelle. La valeur patrimoniale de la chapelle tient égalment à son implantation. Située au centre d'un cimetière bien aménagé, la chapelle-charnier est un point de repère dans cet environnement posédant peu de végétation. Elle domine le lac Matapédia qui forme un magnifique fond de scène.

Translated from the above noted text:

The charnel chapel of the parish cemetery of Sayabec has a good heritage value. Its value lies particularly in its architecture. Built in 1956, this small building whose basement serves as a charnel house and the ground floor, chapel, evokes two trends, the use of traditional forms indicating its religious function and the ornamental stripping testifying to a certain modernity. Indeed, the chapel has a religious shape recognizable by its rectangular plan, its gable roof, its symmetrical composition and its bell-tower with ogival arches borrowed from neo-Gothic style. In return, apart from the steeple and a Gothic arch framing its main facade, the chapel-charnel is devoid of applied ornaments. The granite bossed stone cladding, the openings formed of glass blocks framed by smooth cut stone create a stripped down and formal simplicity. The heritage value of the chapel also lies in its location. Located in the center of a well-appointed cemetery, the chapel-charnel house is a landmark in this environment with little vegetation. It dominates Lake Matapedia which forms a magnificent backdrop.
