In 1875, the Slater Family began a tradition of caring service and value that has continued through four generations. For us, caring for the families in our community is our commitment. We have extended that commitment over the years by offering the convenience of three locations - serving the families of Pittsburgh from Mount Washington to Greentree and the greater South Hills area.
While we value our traditions, we are embracing new changes for the future to provide more than you expect from a funeral home. We take pride in providing the highest level of service with compassion and dignity. We continue to serve the community with hometown traditions as well as specialized services for individualized faiths.

Services
We understand that each family's wishes are unique. That is why we offer so many choices to accommodate your religious and ethnic traditions and provide dignified and affordable services for everyone. Our staff is well versed in the special needs of all faiths and can take care of every detail on your behalf.
The health and safety of our employees and those we serve is paramount. We have implemented additional safety measures to prevent illness and protect our customers and staff as recommended by the CDC as well as local and state health officials. Face masks are required when inside any of our locations.
After a death, there are many legal details to consider. While it is not necessary to get a lawyer, it is strongly recommended. A lawyer will make sure all the details are taken care of. The time following a death of a loved one is extremely emotional, and even the closest family will have disagreements over the most trivial matters.
Like all things, the accepted customs of dress and behavior for a funeral service has changed over time, but common-courtesy never goes out of style. If you're worried about your actions at an upcoming service, or are just curious, here's what we'd like you to know about funeral etiquette.
It is important to be respectful of the emotions of family members, as well as what personal, ethnical, or religious considerations need to be taken into account.Sometimes we are at a loss for words when encountering something as final as death. Simply saying "I'm sorry for your loss" is usually enough.

They REALLY take care of you, like family here... We had unexpectedly lost my Mom due to vehicle vs. Pedestrian and they practically held our hands and walked us through everything. Even with a snafu about published dates for the venue where we held her "Celebration of Life". They EVEN took photos and kept track of who all sent flowers and EVEN offer to transport them to church/ venue when they can, and donate afterward too, which is so important to us.... 6 months later when we lost my Dad to Cancer, they were right there for us, ready to help in any way they could... We are so lucky
