Going to be moving this account to IG only. I can fit more in the description, and post multiple pictures in one post.

It'll still be @ PghCemeteries so give me a follow if you're on there!

@SheDidWhatPGH So I just walked by there to tacos after the game tonight.

@tmdavis6378 @doristhehat @TraciRylands @NecroTourist @hauntedohiobook @ListerLaneCem @WardsendCem @mementouk @bearzus @FriendsEastEnd @deadinHalifax They are not uncommon at all here in Pittsburgh. Many Eastern European and Italian graves have them, which is where many of our city's immigrants came from. There's are some that I've come across. I had these collages pinned for a while.

@hellohistoria Well you're not wrong.

@chrisbriem @WestPaCemetery Definitely check out Montour Presbyterian Church in Oakdale.

@chrisbriem @WestPaCemetery Mingo Creek Cemetery has some very old ones, but Trinity Episcopal Church downtown is among the oldest in the region. You have to get in I think by appointment, but it's on my to-do

@LovePlacePhoto Thanks! I appreciate input like this.

@WestPaCemetery @cemeteriesofpgh I'm on my way home but once I'm done driving I'll send you a message!

@jakobmarleyfam @mementouk I feel like that's just Byron in general 😅

@mementouk And one can't say "this graffiti is acceptable, but this one isn't" because they preserved even the most vulgar at pompeii. It's all social history to some extent. I agree

@Heather_Leigh02 Life is already hilarious without having to make fun of someone's race or sexual identify. *gestures broadly to Trixie and Katya*

[Pittsburgh Cemeteries @PghCemeteries]

@DanGladis Maybe! I'd have to see when the street was named.

@SheDidWhatPGH My brain always references the 18th c. which I can confidently say there was def more variety in wig + non wig styles, but the Victorian era seemed more subdued and standardized. Men have more variety today compared to the 19th c for sure.

@DaveDiCello My sister, boyfriend and I were walking along the North Shore on Sunday. It was chilly but not windy, perfect day for an afternoon tour of the area.

@MaddKatt1758 And it was too big for Alois alone. It already had his Brothers' names on it too. 🤷‍♀️
