This site has pictures to download of the gravesite. Shaun also posted a very nice picture of the gravesite - which was deleted. The post was then reposted w/o the picture but provided a link to the picture. But for some reason the main board seems to be cut off and wont load the whole thing. Maybe it need to be "rebuilt" again.
I also have some interesting info on my
site:

This URL shows how Russell's Pagan ideas, such as the
pyramid, and the symbol on his early "Studies in the Scriptures", the Egyptian Sun god - Ra - all relate to the Watchtower's early history. It is worth the look.

Russell's Instructions for his funeral
"I desire to be buried in the plot of ground owned by our Society, in the Rosemont United
Cemetery"
(from Watchtower Reprints, 12/1/16)
"for those wishing to visit the gravesite:
The area is the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. It is in the "Rosemont United Cemeteries at Allegheny, in the Bethel Family plot, according
to
his request." (Jehovah's Witnesses In The Divine Purpose, 1959, p. 62)"
