If you aren't freaked out about walking through a cemetery, then this is one of the more interesting ones to see. It is located on the other side of Paramount Studios back wall. The grounds are beautiful and there are many famous people interred here, including Douglas Fairbanks (Sr and Jr)

I love this cemetery. We were given a free map of the grounds by someone that worked there, very nice people that encourage you to walk around and take pictures. We spent at least 2 hours in the cemetery, got lots of great pictures, I attached several to my review. Next time I am in Hollywood I am visiting again.....it... More

I have long been a huge fan of LA-area cemeteries, due to their high concentration of famous "residents". The very best one in this regard is Hollywood Forever. Independently owned (i.e., not Forest Lawn), it has more charm than any other cemetery in the region IMHO. They are happy to have you there (unlike Forest Lawn). You needn't skulk around,... More

This is a real cemetery and non famous people are also buried here so it is in use today. If your in the Hollywood area and if you want to pay your respects to Douglas Fairbanks Sr and Jr, Mel Blanc,Paul Muni,Hattie McDaniel, and about 900 others are here. Its location is like they built the city up around it.... More

Having lived in San Diego our entire lives, we have never been wise enough to come up north and experience the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, if you're thinking about visiting, you MUST try and take a tour with the charming, knowledgeable and interesting Miss Karrie Bible. I believe if you go on HF website you will find info about her tours... More

Upon arrival, we stopped at the office to purchase (cheap) a map of the cemetery which showed the names and burial sites of the famous. This cemetery is "fan friendly" and also have guided tours but we opted to explore ourselves. Therefore, the map was a necessity which helped us navigate pretty easily to the graves we wanted to visit.... More

My bf & I visited this site on our recent vacation in LA...My bf wanted to see the Ramones & me Valentino! We got a map from the Flower shop...they're $5 which you don't really need since the cemetery is quite small & you will recognize the major landmark graves... but definitely worth chatting up the woman at the shop!...

A beautifully kept cemetery that not only attracts the movie fans, it has an historic aspect showing how Holywood evloved. A wonderful place to wander and commune with your spiritual side. The guide map is worth buying at $5 so that you can find what you are looking for and also understand the nature of the cemetery. Look out for... More
