A lavish Doric temple, a miniature Parthenon or (even closer) Temple of Hephaestus, this mausoleum manages to convey the two often-conflicting messages “I had good taste” and “I was rich.”

William Slater Mausoleum, Mount Lebanon Cemetery
William Slater has the most elegant, and probably most expensive, mausoleum in the Mount Lebanon Cemetery—hardly surprising, since he was a very successful funeral director. It does not compare with the great works of architecture in the Allegheny, Homewood, or Union Dale cemeteries, but it is certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

George J. Schmitt Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
The George J. Schmitt mausoleum is a tasteful Doric temple with a glorious stained-glass window. Regrettably, the Union Dale Cemetery is not well documented on line: in fact, it is hard to find anything about this mausoleum with a Google search except old Pa Pitt’s previous article on stained glass in the Union Dale Cemetery.

Mellon Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
By some standards the richest family in the world, the Mellons preferred good taste to ostentation in this simple Doric temple, built for James Ross Mellon, who died in 1934. The sculpture in front, “Motherless” by George A. Lawson (1897), actually doesn’t memorialize any particular dead Mellon; it was a piece of garden statuary that James Ross Mellon liked, but his heirs didn’t want in their garden.
