Hollywood Forever Cemetery Tour
Hollywood Forever Memorial Park is its actual name and it is known as the "Final Resting Place for the Stars". This is also an old cemetery - established in 1899, and filled with tall, old-fashioned headstones and towering monuments, including a few unusual ones shaped like obelisks and rocket ships.
It is the most beautiful and peaceful place of rest in the city. Its beautiful landscaped lawn bordered by assorted flowers gives the cemetery a feel for the life of the Stars and reminds you of the much needed rest from their talents and hard labor. It is filled with old-fashioned headstones, monuments and statues. It has two huge indoor mausoleums and countless outdoor graves.
Hollywood Forever Memorial Park holds the remains of great and matchless actors such as: Rudoph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, Nelson Eddy, Peter Lorre, Janet Gaynor, Tyrone Power and Clifton Webb, just to name a few.
A writer by the name of Tony Scott has been working on this project for over three years, and it will be the most comprehensive book ever written about the cemetery. It details hundreds of Hollywood personalities buried at the park, many of them forgotten in unmarked graves.
Hollywood Forever Memorial Park is named by sections: "The Sanctuary of Peace", "Eternal Life", "The Abbey of the Psalms" and "The Shrine of Eternal Love". In each section you will find couples, siblings, parents and friends buried near one another.
