In 1905, John H. Lanigan founded his funeral home, operating from an office on Cable Avenue in East Pittsburgh. At that time, all funerals were conducted from residences. In 1914, the Lanigan Funeral Home was located at 658 Linden Avenue, next to the Union Railroad Building. She contracted to build the funeral home at its present location in 1937 and in 1938, the Lanigan Funeral Home was opened at 700 Linden Avenue.
John G. "Jack" Lanigan, the only child of John H. and Bridget, returned home after World War II to operate the funeral home. He was a 1937 graduate of Duquesne University and a 1938 graduate of the Cincinnati School of Embalming. He served as a funeral director until his death in 1963. Upon Jack's death, his wife, Emily Thomas Lanigan, became a Licensed Funeral Director and served until her death in 1975.

Since 2000, we have been sending a survey to each and every family we serve, in order to evaluate our service. Most of those families have responded to our request for input. That is a considerably high percentage for this type of survey. Most have answered all of the questions, but some folks only completed portions of the survey.
The Pursuit of Excellence Award is an annual achievement program that is administered by the National Funeral Directors Association. Since 1996, our funeral home has achieved the Pursuit of Excellence Award every year. In 2017, only 167 firms of over 8,000 member firms received the award, and we are one of six Pennsylvania firms to receive it.
As we observed an increasing interest of cremation by the general public, we also learned that folks feel more secure when cremation is done on-site at a funeral home's own crematory. So, the families we serve can have more peace-of-mind knowing that their loved one is not leaving the care of our funeral home and staff.
The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangements you select will include the charge for our basic services. If legal or other requirements mean that you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected.

Pat Lanigan and his team really made my fathers funeral utterly perfect. Anything that my family or my dad would have wanted, happened at the viewing and funeral mass. The respect and kindness that the staff provided myself and my family meant the world to me. I know my dad would have loved the services especially given a pandemic! From my dad’s cd’s playing faintly in the background, to the beautiful space and cleanliness of the space, to the open mic opportunity that Pat came up with, to the Military Funeral Honors, and even driving my father past his home one last time, made my dad’s funeral

I would like to thank Pat and his staff for doing such a outstanding job and making our time of grieving more of a memory in honor of my brother Danny Milne. Everyone that attended his service said how beautiful it was and how it fit Danny’s life in every way. So from the bottom of my heart Thank you Pat and staff for making his service one that everyone will always remember.
Cheryl Barry and family 🙏😇❤️

Thank you to the Patrick Lanigan Funeral Home for tending to the needs of families during this pandemic and quarantine. Live streaming services for our family allowed us to be with our loved ones during this devastating time. This technology brought us together even though I was out of state and immunosuppressed. Thank you again for caring and sharing with all of us.
Sincerely, Carol Geraci

Our family has used Lanigan’s Funeral Home for many many years with both sides of family. Compassionate caring souls about your loved ones. They listen and are attentive to your needs. I live out of town and any questions when I’ve called there...they are caring and answer all questions. Mr. Patrick Lanigan, thank you on taking such care of our loved ones in your hands.

During this difficult time we had the honor of putting our beloved father’s arrangement in the hands of Patrick Lanigan. There are no words to express how pleased we were with every step of our sad ordeal. He was compassionate and so attentive to every detail. He adapted the service during this flu epidemic with such understanding and professionalism. Thank you Patrick. You were a beacon of light during such a troubling time The Leach Family

Very unprofessional and in terrible taste minimizing the passing of loved ones with your cheap shot at the Philadelphia Flyers and our fan base. Hopefully anyone considering using your business will realize your attention to detail and sympathy toward families takes a back seat to jokes toward professional sports franchises. Have not followed your… work previously but would love to see your handy work for every time the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins (they do not win the championship every year last time I checked) do not win it all. I am very impressed that your employees have time to
