South Side Cemetery was established in September 1873. Former Mayor Armstrong is buried here, along with many local businesspeople, one such family being the Sankey family, who owned a brick company in Pittsburgh that grew into a large, profitable business. We have over 40,000 people buried here, and soon to be 41, 000. We have three pet sections, with two already completely filled, and the third close to meeting capacity. We have a Heritage flower program here that is very popular.

We are 63 acres of beautiful, well-kept grounds, and our staff here takes great pride in the appearance of the grounds, as well as in the relationships with our families. Family members who have loved ones buried here often stop in the office just to say “hello,” and tell us how impressed they are with the grounds.

We host an annual Memorial Day program, in collaboration with the local veteran’s organizations, to pay tribute to the many veterans buried here. We have the biggest veterans’ section of any other cemetery in the Pittsburgh area. We also work closely with the local Boy Scout troop on Memorial Day weekend, placing flags on graves of all our fallen heroes. We consider every veteran buried here a hero in his or her own right. Every year, it seems that more people attend the program. Our staff values our connections to the community, and to the families who have lost their loved ones.
