Just as times have changed, so have ideas about burial options, acceptable ways to honor those we love, and the importance of cemeteries in our towns and cities. A cemetery such as Allegheny, emphasizing land and historic preservation, takes on new importance as once abundant greenspace gives way to strip malls and subdivisions.
Pittsburgh is a diverse city with various languages, cultures, religions, and traditions. The management of Allegheny Cemetery is committed to offering the people of Pittsburgh a wide choice of burial and memorialization options.

Garden of the Chapel
To accommodate the high demand for mausoleum entombment, a new 1,000-space mausoleum is planned and now available for purchase at low, pre-construction prices.
Temples of Memories
The Temple of Memories, one of the nicest indoor mausoleums in the country, accommodates 8,000 crypt spaces and 1,200 urn niches. Built in 1961 and added to several times since, it is known for its stained glass, exquisite marble, and the Raymond F. Moreland Memorial Chapel.
Customized Family Mausoleums
There has been a trend toward family mausoleums, which can be built in various sizes and styles. We work with master craftsmen to create customized mausoleums to your desires and specifications.
In addition to spaces located throughout the historic areas of the Cemetery, Allegheny has two lawn-plan areas. The identifying feature of both is a significant art piece in the center, surrounded by burial spaces marked by flush bronze memorials.
