Serving the Greater Johnstown Area since 1885.

After the American Civil War, the demand for iron and steel grew. The Cambria Iron Company of Johnstown met that demand, creating jobs and attracting immigrants. As the population grew, the need for more cemeteries arose. In 1884, a group of concerned citizens met to develop a new cemetery for Johnstown.

Following the close of the American Civil War and the opening of a new industrial age, the nation’s demand for iron and steel grew dramatically. The Cambria Iron Company of Johnstown, Pennsylvania played a major role in meeting that demand. The mills, the mines, the railroads, and numerous support industries provided the jobs that powered the local economy. The need for skilled works made jobs plentiful. As immigration increased steadily in the later decades of the 19th century, Johnstown became a thriving and growing community. It was a highly desirable destination for those seeking a better life in America.

Take a walk through history at Grandview Cemetery, where the stories of the past are etched in stone.
