Allegheny Cemetery

Allegheny Cemetery Historically a rural burial ground, we provide a beautiful, respectful resting place for the dead. Together, they make up the Allegheny Cemetery family.

Pittsburgh's tender mercies, respect for its lands, and loyalty to high ideals are more than evident within the gates of Allegheny Cemetery. Conceived in the minds of Pittsburgh's leading families and businessmen in 1844, Allegheny Cemetery was created to be far more than the typical country burying grounds of that age. Today, Allegheny Cemetery encompasses 300 acres with over 15 miles of roadways

and has been the choice of more than 133,000 people as their final resting place. Some had worldwide fame, others were known throughout Pittsburgh. But most were known only by the friends and family who loved them and wanted the assurance that they would be memorialized in the most caring, dignified, and respectful manner possible.

Twin Reflection Ponds (Sect. 14) Legend has it that Allegheny's twin ponds were formed during the Civil War, when God looked down on the fallen and wept great tears. In 1861, the cemetery's landscape architects channeled natural spring water to shape and form these sylvan lakes, of which there were once five total, as well as a waterfall! (excerpt from Images of America: Allegheny Cemetery) These stunning images were captured by Ian Luconti, showing a heron at the aforementioned ponds.
