In this video I visit Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park, one of the smallest cemeteries in Los Angeles with possibly the greatest amount of celebrity burials. This walking tour is quite extensive and all from memory and myself and Paul from Paulitos Way pay respects to the many stars buried there. From Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Hefner to hidden secret graves, we pretty much cover them all. Check out Paul’s channel Paulitos Way.

Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary is a cemetery and mortuary located in the Westwood Village area of Los Angeles. It is located at 1218 Glendon Avenue in Westwood, with an entrance from Glendon Avenue. The cemetery was established as Sunset Cemetery in 1905, but had been used for burials since the 1880s. In 1926 the name was officially changed to Westwood Memorial Park and was later changed again to Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary. Although it is the resting place of some of the entertainment industry's greatest names, it also contains the graves of many uncelebrated people. For example, when Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, Joe DiMaggio, responsible for Monroe's arrangements, chose Westwood not because of its celebrities but because it was the resting place of Monroe's mother's friend, Grace Goddard, and Goddard's aunt, Ana Lower, both of whom had cared for Monroe as a child
