landmark

Hollywood Forever Cemetery

The Hollywood Forever Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Los Angeles, and is the final resting place of some of the city's most significant cultural icons. The cemetery also hosts many cultural events, including music concerts and summer movie screenings. "We saw Bon Iver perform here at dawn. Everyone stayed the night in the cemetery and then Justin and co. took the stage at dawn. There’s something unsettling yet surprisingly chill about sleeping amongst the dead and waking to a life-bringing force such as music." — BRÅVES
