Penn Forest Natural Burial Park is Pennsylvania’s first exclusively green cemetery and is committed to creating a beautiful burial park where nature is at the forefront. Penn Forest is located 13 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh on 32 acres in Penn Hills (close to Oakmont and Verona). The cemetery is bordered by Plum Creek and is just a mile upstream from the Allegheny River. In addition to being a green cemetery, a third of the land is set aside as a nature preserve habitat for native wildlife and plants. Penn Forest offers both full body and cremated remains burial sites. We are happy to work with all funeral homes that are skilled in green burial practices. People of all faiths are welcomed. Our Mission is to provide ecologically friendly burial.
