When someone we know passes away, taking care of funeral arrangements can seem like an overwhelming burden.
Here in Pittsburgh and across the United States, a traditional funeral service is a way for people to remember their loved ones and say goodbye in a way that’s heartfelt and significant.
Funerals also provide a way for family and friends of people who have passed away to come together and support each other emotionally.
At Devlin Funeral Home, we understand how important these events are. That’s why we provide funeral home services to help you get through this difficult time without worrying about the logistics.
Our traditional funeral services and family funeral services follow the pattern of a western funeral, starting with a public or family viewing of the person who has passed away.
After the viewing has been concluded, the service is generally held at the funeral home or the church if you wish to follow certain religious observances—we leave this important decision in your hands.
After the service, the casket is taken for burial or to be entombed.
You can personalize this process in any way you wish or in line with the wishes of those who have passed on; we work together with you to ensure these arrangements are personal and significant to you.

Most cemeteries have specific requirements concerning burials and funeral processions. They may, for instance, require a grave liner to be built, which will enclose the casket when it’s buried. These liners are made from concrete and their purpose is to withstand the weight of the soil above the casket and help maintain the graveyard. The liner usually covers only the sides and the top of the casket.
Yes, you may choose to have the individual entombed in a sealed vault instead of a regular burial. These vaults, like grave liners, are made of concrete but are made to fully enclose the casket. They aren’t just intended to maintain the grave site; they can also prevent it from experiencing water damage as well.
If you wish for the funeral to be a private affair for family only, we can arrange that. You can opt to have a traditional funeral with all the necessary burial rites without having any visitors.
Based on your preference and requirements, we create an obituary that memorializes the person you’re mourning and work with our network of local newspapers in Pittsburgh to get this posting out.
