Funeral Services & Cemeteries near East Pittsburgh

“When my mother passed away, there was no question who we would trust — Patrick Lanigan. Pat handled my grandmother’s arrangements back in 1979 when I was six years old, and now, all these years later, he cared for my mother with that same compassion, dignity, and personal touch that has defined the Lanigan name for generations.

Pat’s kindness showed in so many thoughtful ways. My children even noticed that he never just referred to them as “the grandchildren” — he always called them by name, which meant so much to them. He was also incredibly compassionate toward my father, who lost his wife of 63 years. My dad is absolutely heartbroken, and Pat treated him with such gentleness, patience, and respect.

Pat is deeply rooted in the community where my mother was born, and he made sure the processional passed down the street of her childhood home — a gesture that touched us all deeply. The entire Lanigan staff was professional, attentive, and caring — down to every detail, even making sure the leaves were cleared from the parking lot before guests arrived. Everything with Lanigan's staff is truly first class.

Thank you, Pat, for helping us honor my mother’s life with such love and grace. You made a difficult time truly meaningful.“

“I can’t recommend Soxman enough for families going through loss. The level of care that the staff provided to our family during this sad time was above and beyond.

“Jesse, Frank, and Shelby were incredibly kind and compassionate. Jesse helped guide me through everything so I did not have to worry during such an emotional time.

I am truly grateful for everything they did for us. Thank you 🖤“

“My mother recently passed away. I cannot say enough good things about Willig Funeral Home. From the time they came to take her from my home to the very end at the cemetery, they were great. Anything we needed we received. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. We even had a few unexpected surprises that were very thoughtful.“

“English Funeral Home were a great assistance in planning and caring out the funeral services for my parents, both in their 90s. My mother and father lived in a retirement community near Oakmont, while my siblings and I are scattered in various places around the US. Mark, Melissa and Megan walked us through the required paperwork (including creating and publishing an obituary in the newspapers), coordinating with the church for a funeral religious service, and the cemetery for the internment. The visitation was well done prior to the church service, and a funeral procession afterwards to the cemetery was seamless. They even helped us by arranging for a military color guard for my father's (a US Air Force veteran) burial. My family is very grateful for their professional and compassionate service.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy George, Senior Sales Advisor at Penn Lincoln Memorial Park. From the very first moment I spoke with her, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and truly cared for. She is an exceptional person who brings so much compassion, patience, and understanding to what can be a very emotional and difficult process.

Amy is truly a wealth of knowledge. She took the time to walk me through every detail, answered every question, and provided guidance on things I didn’t even realize I needed to know. She presented all of the options clearly and thoughtfully, never making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. Her professionalism is outstanding, but what stood out most was the genuine kindness and warmth she showed throughout the entire experience.

It is rare to meet someone who combines expertise with such a caring heart. Amy went far beyond simply providing information — she offered reassurance, comfort, and a level of personal attention that made a lasting impression. I honestly left feeling like I had not only been helped by an amazing advisor but had also gained a new friend.

Penn Lincoln Memorial Park is incredibly fortunate to have someone like Amy representing them. She is a true gem, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for guidance, compassion, and someone who truly cares. 💙“

“Best funeral home ever! They even have a beloved pets service also. My service dog Rosie passed away on June 27, 2024 due to my landlady who allowed herself into my rental space and whom criminally cyanide poisoned my seizure response dog . She even admitted to the crime 3x. But these pics are of the room that they put the animals in before they cremate their earthly remains and also.... This is the room my own mother Victoria Jean (Billy) Kobulnicky was laid out at back in January 2010. Memories is all I have.“
