The Art and Architecture of Death

Heinz mausoleum

Generations of Heinzes rest in this Jeffersonian domed mausoleum, including H. J. the ketchup king and the late Senator John Heinz.

Singer mausoleum

A Victorian interpretation of Jeffersonian classicism. Domes are fairly unusual on Pittsburgh mausoleums, but this one works well with the “modern Ionic” design. The four large lamps on the corners are a bit much, in old Pa Pitt’s opinion; but the Singers didn’t ask him.

Bronze doors on the Singer mausoleum

Two layers of bronze and one cheap padlock keep vandals out, or perhaps the Singers in.
