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

Hollywood Forever Cemetery This stop has to be one of the weirdest stops on Route 66, but it is a free attraction, and it can be interesting, so pull of a see the Dead centre of LA. All my reviews are written from the heart, and how each place made me feel, I never write a negative review, due to... 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

Surely I was there for Dee Dee and Johnny Ramone's graves. The place is just amazing, tranquil and nicely landscaped. I HATE that american's have be able to drive cars inside graveyard and the larger roads are really sized based on this fact. Instructions how to find these two graves. From the gate, walk left along the building and wall.... More

This cemetery is very beautiful. Looks like a park and you will find lots and lots of graves of famous people like Jayne Mansfield, Tyrone Power, Estelle Getty, Johnny Ramone and many more... Impressive is the silent film star Rudolph Valentino memorial on and artificial island in the center of the graveyard. Lots of different film productions use it as... More

You can see why the old guard in Hollywood were buried here - you can see the backlot at Paramount and the Hollywood sign. It's a great cemetery to walk around as it's very old -1899 is the oldest grave. There are a lot of famous residents too: Faye Wray from King Kong, Darla and Alfalfa from the Little Rascals,... More

The Hollywood Walk of Fame just has terrazzo stars embedded in the side walks, here you get the head stone and corpse too. Seriously, this place is great for old Hollywood Movie fans and it is very much alive with special events. Definitely visit for the summer movie screenings. 1000s attend with wine and picnic dinners and movies are projected... More

Odd as it may be, I love cemeteries. I love the history and the stories and the e memories people leave behind. Hollywood Forever is the best of everything - the people, the scenery, the legends. The cemetery itself is beautiful, has great views of the Hollywood sign, and is the final resting place of both average folks and entertainment... More
