It's too bad that they could not come up with something that looked more like a meaningful place where the ashes of the ones you loved are kept and less like that self-storage place where you keep your stuff from your early adult years (ie college/university) because you can't be bothered to throw it out.
As I read it, I don't think they will store ashes there: it's for memorial services and other events. I don't know what such a building is supposed to look like, but I personally don't think this looks any worse than a random funeral home or community centre.
And it's really a reno/reclad of an existing building, so that in itself places constraints on the design.
