Plum Creek
Cemetery
Non-Denominational Cemetery
Imagine a place… beautifully serene,
embodying peace, and epitomizing the deeply-rooted history of Pittsburgh's east hills. Imagine a place… that gives us the chance to think, feel, and reflect, while cradled in the comfort of nature. Imagine a place… that's more than just a place, really.
This is Plum Creek Cemetery - a non-denominational cemetery in Plum, PA, nurtured by people who respect each blade of grass, every monument, and every individual's requests and preferences.

This, we embrace.
Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
- John Muir
