WELCOME TO PGHLIVES.COM, the archival site for obituaries contracted through Pittsburghobituaries.net.   On this blog will be kept the life stories of Pittsburghers whose survivors want to memorialize their contributions, however small they might seem. Not every obituary you read here will be of titans of industry or the famous. We endeavor also to tell the stories of everyday Pittsburghers, those dedicated to family and community in quiet, maybe unsung ways. We hope to create word portraits of the generations who have made the region what it is: a place of hardworking people with strong ties to their hometown.

For information on how you can contract an obituary for a family member, friend or colleague, no matter how long ago they may have passed on, go to pittsburghobituaries.net.

In the meantime, check back as the stories build.
