The waiting room looks out onto an ivy-covered ledge surrounded by birches, and is made of varnished wood. Carpeting and indirect lighting create a comfortable atmosphere. Vigil rooms are illuminated with natural light coming from courtyards with water which suggest peace, quiet and privacy.
The only visible façade the rooftop reflects the magnificent sky of León, giving an analogy to death.
