Calvary Catholic Cemetery (Pittsburgh)

Calvary Catholic Cemetery is a large Roman Catholic cemetery located in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Established in 1886, it is one of the largest and most historically significant Catholic cemeteries in the Pittsburgh area, serving as the final resting place for many prominent figures in Pittsburgh's history, including religious leaders, politicians, businesspeople, and members of notable families.

The cemetery is administered by the Catholic Cemeteries Association of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Its grounds are expansive, featuring rolling hills, mature trees, and numerous sections with diverse monument styles reflecting different eras. Traditional upright headstones, mausoleums, and family plots are all present.

Calvary Cemetery offers a range of burial options, including in-ground burial, cremation niches, and family estates. Masses and memorial services are often held on the grounds, particularly on All Souls' Day. The cemetery's records are a valuable resource for genealogical research, providing information on burials dating back to the late 19th century.
