We are huge loony tunes fans, so it was moving to visit the grave of beloved Mel Blanc. Our teens were raised on his work and we all felt that his resting place was special. The park is very interesting and a nice place to slow down and adjust your perspective.

Fought traffic for two hours to get here. Waited half hour for cashier in flower shop to return to get a map and then she was rude about it, No one to speak of is buried here except Charlie Chaplin which was behind a locked gate when we got there two hours before closing. The only thing this place has... More

the permanent home to everyone from Cecil B. DeMille to Johnny Ramone with monuments to others, including the dog who played Toto in the original Wizard of Oz. Peaceful, watch out for the peacocks!

Our visit to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (HFC) was interesting and generally quite pleasurable. It is a large cemetery, densely packed with graves. Many graves are opulently attired in massive tombstones with the picture of the interred engraved thereon. There appears to be a heavy occupancy of lavish Jewish and Armenian graves. Of course, they also have about four mausoleums.... More

I've visited Los Angeles/Hollywood, the surrounding area a total of two times. I'll be visiting L.A. and the area again in October 2013. To make a long story short, if your new to the area, or planning to visit Los Angeles/Hollywood, SoCal. Hollywood Forever Cemetery should definitely be on your list of attractions to checkout. Many of the movers and... More

We had a little difficult finding parking since we did not know that we could park inside. Then it took us a few minutes to find a map that could take us to Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone graves. They sell them at the flower store for $5 that is at the entrance. The place if beautiful, nice to walk.... More

A lot of Old Hollywood and Silent films stars are buried here along with memorials of other stars. Among those buried here are Rudolph Valentino, Fay Wray, Jayne Mansfield, Cecil B. Demille, Alfalfa (Little Rascals), and Estelle Getty. The mausoleum closes at 4pm. They also show movies at night here. This is a picturesque cemetery. A must do if you... More

Although cemeteries are usually not your typical points of interest when visiting a new city, it does actually provide a nice stroll in the past, they are historically interesting and...quiet. This one I think is a must see in the city of L.A. You find yourself in a big and lovely park, beautifully landscaped. You can get a map at... More
