A very restrained style of Art Deco makes this a mausoleum that stands out without being ostentatious.
-
Gumberg Mausoleum, West View Cemetery
-
Weir Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A very tasteful example of mid-twentieth-century modernism in a fine fall landscape.
-
Maeder Mausoleum, Smithfield East End Cemetery
Simple modernist elegance enlivened by bronze doors and decorative etching around the doorframe.
-
Harry Leary Family Mausoleum, Mount Lebanon Cemetery
Not many families chose modern architecture for their private mausoleums, but for their clients with modern tastes, a few companies did make up-to-date modernistic mausoleums like this one, a plain cube with an off-center door. The cartoon outline of a stained-glass window on the left is an odd concession to the popular notion that a funerary monument ought to have some sort of decoration. (There is also real stained glass inside, and a rusting iron bench to sit on and contemplate mortality.)
