St.
Casimir's Cemetery is the primary cemetery used by Lithuanians in the Pittsburgh
area. The cemetery is located on Hamilton Rd. in Whitehall Boro, a
suburban community south of the City of Pittsburgh. It is located adjacent
to the grounds of the Sisters of St. Francis, a community of nuns founded by
Lithuanians. The cemetery was affiliated with the former St. Casimir
Parish that was located on the South Side of Pittsburgh. The church was
closed in the early 1990s during a consolidation of parishes in the area.
The former St. Casimir School, which was adjacent to the church, now houses
condominium apartments. The church building was recently sold and is being
converted into condominiums.
The cemetery is still well maintained. There appears to be plenty of vacant land for new customers if you are interested! The cemetery is now administered by the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
