The Art and Architecture of Death
An unusual Jewish park cemetery (most Jewish cemeteries in Pittsburgh are small and crowded), with some fine mausoleums and monuments. It is associated with Rodef Shalom Temple in Shadyside.
A very restrained style of Art Deco makes this a mausoleum that stands out without being ostentatious.
A simple Doric design whose severity is moderated by a Greek-key decoration.
A simple Doric mausoleum with extra space for a large family. The stained glass inside is very good, except that (in Father Pitt’s opinion) the wreath-and-swag decoration rather spoils the effect of the naturalistic forest and stream.
