Description
Beyond its role as a full-service funeral home, Hollywood Forever operates as an event venue, hosting classic film screenings, concerts, lectures, and live podcast tapings. The grounds welcome a surprising diversity of burial types, resulting in an eclectic mix of monuments and tributes. Visitors often note the resident peacocks and cats, with one reviewer spotting a cat carrying a mouse, a natural form of pest control. The atmosphere tends toward serene, inviting quiet walks among the headstones, while the stained glass details and notable celebrity graves, like the Ramones', add to the experience.
