  • I know of two Orthodox cemeteries in Wilkes Barre. One is located on a rocky hill on Church Street, a few blocks north of the Courthouse and the Pierce Street Bridge. Another is in South Wilkes Barre (probably on River Street). Source: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
