"More than a cemetery, this site contains graves of silent-era stars like Douglas Fairbanks and Rudolph Valentino alongside modern celebrities (Johnny Ramone, David Lynch), features quirks like a Toto memorial and roaming peacocks, and hosts nighttime movie screenings on mausoleums and DJ-driven events for an unusual al fresco night out." - Maxwell Williams

"Chef Maynard Llera’s Melrose Hill restaurant can assist with any function happening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, with concerts, special events, or Cinespia’s always fun movie screenings on the calendar. Either dine in or take to-go Kuya Lord’s longanisa sausage, short ribs, pancit chami noodles, and Llera’s specialty: the slow-roasted pork belly. After taking a bite, everyone will understand why he received a James Beard Award in 2024 for Best Chef: California." - Mona Holmes
"I also attend the Day of the Dead events at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on November 1 and 2, which are presented as not-to-be-missed commemorations for Día de los Muertos." - Rebecca Roland
"The Hollywood Forever Cemetery is hosting a daytime Dia de los Muertos festival this Saturday, October 30th from 9am-3pm. The event will feature various altars, art exhibitions, cultural performers, art and crafts vendors, and food provided by Coni’Seafood, among others. Tickets are $40 for GA and $150 for VIP, which gives you access to premium food and beverage options, and special seating." - brant cox
"Some cemeteries continue the tradition of using graveyards as public social spaces — for example, Los Angeles’s Hollywood Forever Cemetery hosts popular picnic and movie nights, demonstrating how food and communal gatherings can keep proximity to the dead approachable." - Tiffany Leigh
