About Hollywood Forever
Hollywood Forever is a full-service funeral home, crematory, cemetery, and cultural events center in the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles.
Founded in 1899, the cemetery is one of the world’s most visited landmarks, and the final resting place of hundreds of Hollywood legends, including Judy Garland, Cecil B. DeMille, Rudolph Valentino, Mickey Rooney, Tyrone Power, Douglas Fairbanks, Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone, Valerie Harper, Chris Cornell, and hundreds of others, alongside thousands of neighborhood residents and individuals from across the globe.
The functioning cemetery and mortuary offers lawn spaces, cremation services, cremation niches, mausoleum crypts and memorial services, and the Beth Olam section is one of the oldest, active Jewish cemeteries in California.
As Los Angeles’ most dynamic cultural event center, Hollywood Forever welcomes families and visitors to concerts, films, and events each year. Since 2000, Hollywood Forever has partnered with Cinespia to present cinema screenings in the summer on the Fairbanks Lawn, and the cemetery’s Dia de Los Muertos celebration is the largest outside of Mexico, attracting visitors from all over the world. Paramount Studios was built on the undeveloped south end of the original site, where the studio still operates, and the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1999.

I have been staying here for the past couple hundred years. It's been alright, if not a little loud. Room service is terrible, though.

This isn’t t where Marilyn Monroe is buried - I found that out (thanks Wikipedia), but there are hundreds of celebrities here from Judy Garland to Chris Cornell which kinda surprised me. I bought the official guide and talked with a lovely woman at the gift shop about the history of the place.

Hollywood forever cemetery allows people to practice yoga on their cemetery grounds. This is disrespectful for our loved ones buried there and their families. Where's your dignity Hollywood forever? You just make everything into a business. I bet you won't stop this with out a lawsuit coming your way. Shame on you!!!
