This was not done in a ceremonial fashion and destroyed the ambiance established by the Pastor. Why not have the casket in the chapel during the eulogy waiting for the Honors?

I stopped by Deer Creek to pay my respects and say my own goodbyes. Deer Creek is much bigger than I expected. It may have been the lack of trees or tall bushes that can break up the long site-lines in a typical cemetery, but the gravestones seemed to go on forever, up and down the small slopes. The grounds were spotted with dashes of color from the flags or flowers placed near the markers. I noticed the well-paved, large roads that take visitors to all corners of the grounds. There are street signs and street names on the intersections. I've not ever noticed that before in a cemetery, but it gives it the feeling of a small town. If I consider, also, the other markers designating areas within those blocks, almost like house numbers, I suppose it is like a mini-town. A well-laid out town. Bittersweet. As I roamed, looking for the one place I needed, I saw the well-groomed grass and nicely maintained grounds. You can move from the older to the more recent without noticing. Deer Creek obviously chooses not to save money by letting things becomes overgrown. Good job. After several minutes, I gave up and stopped by the office to ask for directions. The man working that day found the information on the computer, gave me the location, and pointed me in the general direction. Fewer than 5 minutes. Efficient. It's a nice cemetery. Next time I'm in the area, I may like it. But right now, in this moment, at this time: I dislike it. Cancer sucks.

Calvary is the third and final of the large cemeteries in PGH that I've visited. Although it's not…read moremy favorite large cemetery in PGH (that would be Allegheny Cemetery), it's nevertheless still a strong contender. It's unique in two major respects: (1) Its location on top of a hill between the Greenfield and Hazelwood neighborhoods and (2) Its status as the largest Catholic cemetery in PGH. I've visited Calvary Cemetery twice--once about a month ago, and more recently this past Sun.--and both visits have been quite pleasant and relaxing. Like Allegheny and Homewood Cemeteries, there is a variety of different styles of gravestones and monuments, although there didn't seem to be quite as many older ones as in those cemeteries. There is also at least one large mausoleum near the entrance, but I didn't go inside to check it out. Because the cemetery is on a hill, I was hoping for an unobstructed view down to the Mon River and the surrounding neighborhoods. Unfortunately, however, vegetation from trees obstructs the views in most directions, so I was only able to see peeks down the hill. In terms of size, Calvary seems a bit smaller than the other large cemeteries in PGH, and it doesn't offer as many amenities for living visitors (benches, ponds, etc.). The one thing that's a bit strange about this cemetery is the presence of several tall microwave communications towers that overshadow it on a plot of land adjacent to the cemetery. I realize that the placement of these towers is due to the topology, and that the cemetery has no control over their placement, but they do feel out of place in this otherwise peaceful and naturally beautiful cemetery. Despite these minor shortcomings, Calvary is a great place to take a stroll and check out some cool gravestones. If you happen to be in the area and enjoy exploring cemeteries or are looking for somewhere to take a walk that's different than the usual parks, check it out!

Well, I really like this cemetery. Its well kept, in terms of maintenance, and the office is well run too. I have family that is laid to rest in this location, which is why I visit, however, there are also many interesting and old headstones and memorials, as well. This is also a location which holds quite a few private mausoleums. Additionally, this cemetery is HUGE @ approximately 88 acres. The road that winds through the cemetery is maze-like. There is one entrance "at the top" of the cemetery on Versailles Avenue and another entrance "on the bottom" of the cemetery on Fifth Avenue; the entrance on Fifth Avenue is where the office is situated and a great stone archway to the cemetery. All along the cemetery's edges are footpaths created over time from Crawford Village and other areas. This cemetery is used by many McKeesport residents as a means of throughway for pedestrian traffic between Versailles Avenue Areas and Fifth Avenue Areas of McKeesport. There is a list of do's and dont's on the website, but none of them are unreasonable or without just cause. http://www.mckeesportcemetery.com/

Also the grass has not been cut in a very long time it's easily 2 ft. high. South Side Cemetery should be ashamed for not having enough respect for our pets, who were our family. Also, most of the damage done to the stones were caused by negligence from weed whacking or just lack of concern. I also feel it is a breach of contract as the contract we signed specifically stated that if any damage was done to the stones it would be repaired or replaced by the cemetery. Perhaps reaching out to the local news media will be my next step.
