Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery, Cemetery in North Hollywood, United States
Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery is a 63-acre burial ground in North Hollywood featuring marble monuments and granite headstones spread across its grounds. The site houses the Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation, a memorial dedicated to aviation history and pioneers.
John R. Osborne and C. C. Fitzpatrick founded the cemetery in 1923, though their fraudulent scheme involving multiple sales of burial plots led to their imprisonment. The property later incorporated graves from the former Restland Memorial Park.
The Spanish Mission Revival entrance displays decorative stonework by Italian sculptor Federico A. Giorgi and reflects the architectural vision of Kenneth McDonald Jr. Visitors encounter here a blend of imported craftsmanship and local design that shapes the place's character.
The cemetery is located on Victory Boulevard in North Hollywood and maintains records of approximately 100,000 burials across its grounds. Visitors should know that multiple areas are organized by monument type and sections, making it helpful to have a map or ask staff for directions.
The Portal of the Folded Wings houses memorials to aviation pioneers, including tributes to Amelia Earhart and the Columbia and Challenger space shuttles. This shrine connects aviation heroes with space exploration achievements in a single memorial space.
