Generations of H. J. Heinzes have been buried here, and the large underground chamber still has room for more. The architects were Vrydaugh & Wolfe, who also designed Warwick House, Howard Heinz’ mansion in Squirrel Hill.

Heinz Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

Clark Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
The dark honey-colored stone of this Ionic mausoleum makes it different from the majority of gleaming white classical mausoleums in the cemetery, and more like a natural part of the landscape. Otherwise there is nothing extraordinary about it: it is a gentleman’s mausoleum, and a gentleman would not dress ostentatiously.
We also have some summer pictures of the Clark mausoleum.

Hemphill Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A classic Ionic temple with rusticated walls.
-
William J. Burns Mausoleum, Calvary Cemetery
A fine temple of the “modern Ionic” order (Ionic columns with the volutes at the four corners) with a large statue of Christ standing above the pediment. It has not escaped festooning with artificial flowers.
-
McCluen Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A Renaissance idea of a classical temple, with columns in the “modern Ionic” style—that is, with the volutes on the corners of the capitals. The rusticated stone of the walls makes a pleasing contrast with the smooth columns, doorframe, and pediment.
