In 1956, The Catholic Cemeteries Association opened Our Lady of Hope Cemetery, Tarentum, to serve the Allegheny Valley region of the diocese. A unique feature of this 111-acre cemetery is its “memorial park” design, with religious shrines located throughout. A beautiful garden crypt mausoleum was recently completed. Over the past 45 years, 2,862 interments have taken place in Our Lady of Hope Cemetery. In 2001, The Catholic Cemeteries Association opened for sale a beautiful chapel mausoleum, which will contain 679 crypts and a committal chapel for all funerals when complete.
