Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, Historical cemetery in Westwood Village, Los Angeles, United States.
The memorial park spans two and a half acres, featuring rows of gravestones and crypts surrounded by tall buildings in central Los Angeles.
The burial ground started as Sunset Cemetery in 1880, changing its name to Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in 1926 after extensive urban development.
Many entertainment figures rest here, including Marilyn Monroe, Kirk Douglas, Natalie Wood, Dean Martin, and numerous actors from Hollywood's early years.
The cemetery entrance sits on Glendon Avenue, with visiting hours from sunrise to sunset and guided maps available at the administration office.
Marilyn Monroe's crypt marker maintains a pink tint from decades of lipstick marks left by visitors paying their respects.
