Soffel Mausoleum, Mount Lebanon Cemetery

The polished Doric columns seem almost out of place on this otherwise rustic mausoleum. The effect is like the effect of a mixed metaphor: it draws attention to itself, though you understand what it means.

Schnuth Monument, Mount Lebanon Cemetery

If you want to be buried under a pyramid but don’t want to be ostentatious about it, this is your monument.

Becker Monument, Mount Lebanon Cemetery

A beautiful abstract classical memorial that reminds old Pa Pitt of middle-twentieth-century cartoons of heaven. The most recent inscription remembers Marian Becker Cummins, who died in 2017 at the age of 101.

Carnahan Monument, Mount Lebanon Cemetery

The Carnahan family has been prominent in the near South Hills for a long time, and this plot, with its chunky rusticated monument, is lovingly maintained with a garden of ornamental grasses.
