Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, Hollywood Forever Cemetery is a unique destination that seamlessly blends tranquility, rich history, haunting tales, and vibrant summer events. A nice shady place to take a quiet walk and escape the busy city streets while taking in the scenery. You can drive through or walk through and be on the lookout for Peacocks, they are everywhere and so beautiful.
It is totally worth visiting. This place can be a good place for a date. You can enjoy beautiful nature with lots of animalsgeese, turtles, swans, ducks, etc around the pond as well as various types of graves. Plan 1 hour. You can drive in and park anywhere without fees.
Came to pay my respects to Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone. Also had to stop by to see Mel Blanc. Great view of the Hollywood sign and beautiful grounds.
A lovely free parking lot with a lot of Jewish graves and peacocks. That's a peaceful and tranquil place to come.
Very imporrant cemetary, mostly deceased from early Hollywood times. Judy Garland, Rudolfo Valentino or Mickey Rooney. One can drive through. Very interesting monuments and architectonic beauties.
A must see for Hollywood movie makers or lovers of the stars this is where it ends- comparable in beauty to the cemetery in Venice Italy but much more surprising variation of graves and thoughts about why we live to begin with. Just amazing how it all blends together
Fantastic destination for tourists to see some Hollywood history and even better for locals to hang out and catch one of the many events held here. It is a nice walk with plenty to look at besides the uniquely creative gravesites and tombs and headstones. This cemetery has no restrictions when it comes to decorating your plot-so there are quite a few... conversation starters, shall we say. The park is well-maintained, both by staff and the families who care for their loved ones' place of eternal rest. The whole experience is breathtaking from entrance to exit. Make sure to look out as you leave the grounds and you can see the Hollywood sign ahead of you. I have plans to catch a movie here, and I simply must find the concrete couch surrounded by weenie dogs for a fabulous picture
Really love this beautiful cemetery. They take great care of it. Security at the front was super helpful & kind when we asked questions. It’s free to walk the grounds, but they do charge for a tour. The only thing I didn’t care to witness were the workers who drive around on the grounds, driving right over the flat headstones. This seemed super disrespectful to me as they could easily navigate around them.
Losing a loved one is never easy, but I am thankful to Hollywood Forever for their time and service. We had a small issue and they went above and beyond to make my grandmas final resting place beautiful. I personally want to thank the CFO I believe his name is Yogu for personally looking into the matter and to Adela Marquez our Family Service Counselor for going above and beyond for my grandma.
Expected a few more golden era hollywood graves. But, there were a few surprises that made it worth it. Had no desire to go here, the wife wanted to, and I was experiencing what I thought I would, ambivalence. Then I walked up on a fairly modest grave and realized it was Chris Cornell. After that the Ramone statue was cool. Anton Yelchin was another surprise. Mel Blanc was also interesting as I loved his voices for WB cartoons as a child. If you like this kind of thing you'll probably dig it but keep your expectations realistic.
