Cemetery sights in Los Angeles

  1. A

    Pierce Bros. Westwood Memorial Park

    Half the challenge is finding this postage stamp–sized cemetery. Tucked behind a commercial building, celebrity-filled Westwood Memorial seems the current Hyde Lounge of the postlife set. Truman Capote, Dean Martin and Marilyn Monroe – see the lipstick prints – crowd sanctuaries near the entrance while headstones for rabble-rousers like Rodney ‘There goes the neighborhood’ Dangerfield keep ‘em chuckling in back.

  2. B

    Westwood Village Memorial Park

    Tucked among Westwood's high-rises, this postage-stamp-sized park is packed with such famous 6ft-under residents as Marilyn Monroe, Burt Lancaster and Rodney Dangerfield.
