Skip This Cemetery

My review is based on the cemetery being a tour destination only. Many famous people are buried here but their graves are all but impossible to find. Staff will not tell you where anyone is buried and I could not find an online map. This...More

Too crowded

Don’t go here on a weekend. It is full of undesirable materialistic people who live to shop and blow all their money

Peace

Beautifully maintained which provides the peace of mind we at times need. The art is stunning and this is an excellent venue for appropriate activities. We have fond memories of the park going back to the late 1940's.

Nice drive thru but famous graves kept in the dark

Unlike many cemeteries,here celebs are scattered all over the place without a map to guide.It is as if they do not want anyone to find them. Michael Jackson’s site is really hidden in a private space- inaccessible Walt Disney is likewise resting in a secluded...More

KIND OF A WEIRD PLACE TO TAKE OUT OF TOWN GUESTS!

This is a great place to visit, however, you REALLY must know where you're going before you go!!! The must see sights are the Reseurrection Painting & The Last Supper Stain Glass.....

Unhelpful Staff

Do not expect help from the staff. They are not allowed to tell you where anyone is buried, and you WON'T be seeing Michael Jackson's tomb. Pictures are not allowed inside. The staff inside was really nice and had only worked there a couple months....More

A Beautiful Cemetery with Lots of History

I know...visiting a cemetery on vacation...but believe me, it's well worth the visit. Not only are the grounds immaculate, the mausoleums are breathtaking. Oh, and you may just find a few final resting places of some pretty notable folks from Hollywood's Golden Age! 😉. Just...More

Wonderful hidden art museum at the top

Beautifully landscaped rolling lawns highlight this Memorial park in the heart of Glendale. Many people use it for walking or even picnicking, with it's lovely rolling lawns. More than a few famous personages memorialized here and the mausoleums have some interesting artwork. At the top...More
