There’s one shaped like an egg and one like a pyramid on cemetery lane

The egg tomb is my friend's, who previously owned Isaly's in West View and got the nickname Eggman. He is still with us, his wife sadly passed about 10 years ago. The pyramid has been gone since last spring and was indeed the marker for the nearby grave of Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Jehova's Witnesses.

There is a pyramid crypt in Homewood Cemetery.

EDIT: It was still there when I walked through a couple of weeks ago, anyway.

Right, different pyramid. The one I was responding about was much smaller than Homewood Cemetery pyramid and was removed due to being vandalized again.

Gotcha! Thanks for clarifying. Sad to hear about the vandalism though.

The egg belonged to the former owner of Isalys in West View
