Drove around the cemetery of the famous. Beautiful mausoleums. Paid $10 for the map of the property though :( 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.

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

For those of us interested in the history of the movies and Hollywood, Forever Hollywood is a definite must-see. Isn't lurking around a cemetery a little creepy, one might ask... not this cemetery, which is a lovely tranquil place though quite busy with visitors like me. Stop in at the Flower Shop right inside the gate for a $5 map.... More

Second visit, this time we bought the map for $5 and it was well worth it. Beautiful grounds A great stop after the Paramount Tour on the way to Hollywood and Highland. More
