Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Hollywood Forever Cemetery is located at 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

It was founded in 1899 as Hollywood Cemetery. In 1998, the cemetery was purchased by the Forever Network, who restored and refurbished it and gave it a new name, Hollywood Forever.

Among those interred or entombed there, the cemetery is also the final resting place of a number of men and women, stars and starlets, from the motion picture industry.
