For the most part I'm satisfied but the stones were covered with grass, leaves, mud puddles making it very hard to find my loved ones. It was dark by time I found the last one.

This is a cemetery in the heart of Lawrenceville. It is very well kept and I am proud it is a part of Pittsburgh history. I have taken many walks thru the cemetery at various times of the year and encounter many of the animals that call it home. Beautiful in the Fall and Winter months.
