You have a lot in common with my mother. She had the idea years ago to build a chapel on the grounds of her church, where she was a lay minister. After my father died of complications of treatment for multiple myeloma in 1999, she started raising money for the project and got it built. She had to fight the suggestions of some to make it grand and ornate. They found some used pews -- enough seating for 25-30 people. There's a stained glass window in the shape of a cross behind the small altar. She still maintains it, sets up for small weddings, etc. It's unlocked during the day and there's a prayer box. I'm not religious but I do understand the value of these chapels and I think it's great that you built one completely on your own!
