Hollywood Forever Cemetery is at 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California. It is adjacent to the north wall, or back, of Paramount Studios, who, with RKO Studios, bought 40 acres (160,000 m2) by 1920. The Beth Olam Cemetery in the southwestern section of the cemetery is for Jews.
Historie
Hřbitov byl založen v roce 1899 na 100 akrech (0.40 km2) jako Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery. By the latter part of the 20th century it had become run down. Allegations of financial mismanagement caused the State of California to forbid the sale of plots. On the verge of closure in a bankruptcy proceeding, Tyler Cassity of Forever Enterprises purchased the now 62-acre (250,000 m2) property in 1998 for $375,000. They renamed it "Hollywood Forever," and restored and refurbished it.
The cemetery is active. The longtime ban on the sale of plots was rescinded when the Forever Network restored the cemetery, and space for more graves remains.
