The Thomas L. Nied Funeral Home was established in 1922, and has remained a family owned funeral home. We offer all forms of final disposition, including Traditional funeral services, Cremation with a viewing, Direct Burial, and Direct Cremation.

We provide guidance in all aspects of the funeral selected including consultation with family and clergy, preparation and filing of all necessary notices, authorizations and consents, certificates and permits. Coordinating with those providing other portions of the funeral, e.g., cemetery, crematory, and others. Supervising of all arrangements pertaining to the funeral service and direction of funeral and assistance to the family following the funeral and final disposition, and presence at place of final disposition.

We have an on site casket selection room to make your selection of merchandise easy and convenient.


Each of our viewing rooms are comfortable and warm and have a side seating room off of the main room to accommodate large visitations.

The funeral home is ADA compliant. We have handicapped parking in both of the parking lots located on either side of the building. We also have a handicapped restroom. All viewing rooms are located on the first floor of the building. There are no stairs. We also have wheelchairs available for those in need.

We offer folding chairs for all occasions. This enables the families we serve to have adequate seating in their homes for, not only funerals, but birthdays, anniversaries, and retirement parties.

As a continuation of our dedicated service we are pleased to also provide what we call aftercare. This is the care you receive after all the services are over. We find it necessary to help you through the grieving process as best we can.

We have our bereavement coordinator, Lulu Orr. Lulu has an extensive background in helping people through life's hardest times. For the past 12 years Lulu, a registered nurse, worked with the terminally ill and their families both in their homes and in a hospice in - patient setting. As a hands-on caregiver and as an administrator Lulu worked intensely with dying issues and anticipatory grief. Through these experiences Lulu saw a real lack of service for the recently bereaved. This time is so difficult and with so many questions yet seemingly so few answers, that she has worked with us to develop this service for all the families that we serve. This will hopefully make this painfully difficult time a bit more manageable.

Lulu Orr is also the founder and executive director of the Good Grief center for bereavement support. Located at 2717 Murray Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, Phone: 412-224-4700, Fax: 412-224-4717. www.ggconline.org
