Been coming here since 2004..
Big improvements since then n better maintained since new owners have taken over.
If your a tourist n wish to have a walking tour, none is available at this time.
I may be able to help with this come the spring this year..
But till then ...
Put on some comforting footwear, stop by the gift shop, buy a map n your ready to explore this fascinating park.
Lots of Celebrities in entertainment & many of the founders of L.A.
Take your time
W your phone go to the website n search the name on the marker to learn more about the person/s
Interned there..
Really educational n reveling about those of interest to you...
If not enough to satisfy your curiosity about them..
Google them to learn more..
Have my favorites n visit them regularly..
For the paranormal types?
Your in for a treat...
Many residents still around for one reason or another ( famous n not ).
Evp's n orbs are normal occurances..
But if conducting this activity, PLEASE 🙏 be respectful of both the living n the dead...
Drop by if your a tourist n get closer to your favorite stars then you probably ever would in life...
If your a local....
Come on by to enjoy a afternoon picnic w family n friends or an early morning walk for miles
Peaceful n quiet...
Great place to think, ask advice of the residents or just hide from the world to rebalance yourself..
I do martial arts ( mostly like Ti chi)
there regularly ...
Great energy to assist ..
Love this place...
Read the message from one of the photos I post..
If only to visit this individual?..
After you read the message...
You'd know why I would still go by at least once a month to say thank you for her pure 💛
Find her n say hi...
Don't be shocked
🙄 if she answers!!
Lol...

Look forward to taking you on a fascinating walking tour in the near future...

To the owners...
*****
In revitalizing the park for business reasons n at the same time, having a place of remembering your loved ones ( famous or not ) in dignity.
Great Job 👍🫡

This is an ordinary cemetery with the exception of about a hundred Hollywood luminaries who decided to take their final curtain call at this very place by exiting stage left and then jumping into a six foot deep hole in the ground. Don’t expect these stiffs to be neatly buried in one section; they are not. Instead, they are scattered about the lot. So you will need to track them down, and I mean six feet down. Parking is simple, just pull along side the curb of the cemetery roads and get out. Walking in the cemetery’s uneven grass, which easily compresses under your weight, may be a challenge to individuals with mobility issues who, if not careful, might just find themselves bunkmates with local ghost resident Mickey Rooney. I did not do so, but a walking tour would have made this a more enjoyable and fruitful experience.

A unique and historic cemetery. Many showbiz people are buried here, from some of the biggest stars of all time to others from the Golden Age whose names are rarely heard anymore. Also many non-celebrities. The grounds are peaceful. If you like cemeteries, this is worth a visit. Enter from Santa Monica Boulevard.

Beautiful landscape, lots of original tombs, strong history. Excellent maintenance. Lots of animals that also make the place lively (squirrels, ducks, cats, peacocks, etc.). A nice break in the center of the city.

We went to watch Pretty Woman. Coca Cola sponsored the food for the night, free pizza, free cokes, and free cheese cake. What else can you ask for? The place gets packed fast so arrive early. It was a great night, packed with fun and entertainment. A classic movie too!

Beautiful, peaceful, burial grounds for many celebrities. Came for the noche de los muertos event and it was super organized. Great food and finally got to see Bomba Estero live!!

We came here because I believe one of The Walking Dead seasons finales Talking Dead after shows was filmed here. We were in California for the Halloween 45 Years of Terror Convention and came here on our last day of the trip. Very cool place. Free to enter and you can park in the cemetery. They have a public bathroom and maybe even some merch and food. Unsure about those last two. If you're interested in cemeteries, this place is worth checking out.
