I sought out this quaint cemetery just to see Marilyn Monroe's tomb. After spending a few minutes there, I walked around and spotted several other celebrity (Don Knotts, Dean Martin, Carroll O'Conner, etc) graves as well. More

I always go to the Memorial for Marilyn. Not easy to find but I miss her a lot how can you imagine such a small tomb for such a great artist! Why don't they create a bigger Memorial for her. New from last time a bench, but I do not think it is enough for her! Do never forget her.... More

This lovely little cemetery exists in the middle of bustling Westwood, just outside UCLA. It's an oasis of beauty and peace. As an added bonus, many Hollywood luminaries are laid to rest here, including Jack Lemmon, Natalie Wood, and Don Knotts. Check it out if you're in the area! More

Go to seeing-stars.com and look at the "Where the Stars are buried" section for a tour. Peter Falk is in a private area, but other than he, many famous people are buried and easy to find, including Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, natalie wood, Rodney Dangerfield, George C. Scott, Billy Wilder, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matheau, Merv Griffin and Farrah Fawcett. Too... More

If you are a shameless star-gazing, celebrity-hawker (like me), this is a great place to view an eclectic mix of the final resting place of stars from all walks of the world of the famous. Marilyn Monroe's masoleum, a big attraction, but for me the most touching aspect is to see the heartfelt sentiments on the gravestone's from the loves... More

Difficult to find...don't pay to park, find your way to the cemetary and you can park right there for free. Give yourself an hour to browse. The office and groundskeepers are not allowed to help you find a grave so don't bother asking. Very surreal place to contemplate the life of the celebrities resting here. Very interesting. More

Under the trees is a small, lovely little memorial park with a grouping of grave sights as well as an area with more elaborate memorials. My parents are buried there and when I visit I forget that only yards away is the city of Westwood. The people there are respectful and it's a sweet place to visit and commune with... More
