Hollywood Forever Cemetery

This varies depending upon the family's wishes, their circumstances and religious customs. We will need to coordinate the necessary paperwork and permits with your physician and the County before any funeral, burial, or cremation may occur. If you need an expedited service for religious or other reasons, please let us know when you first contact us.

We have an onsite flower shop conveniently located in the Bell Tower near our main entrance on Santa Monica Boulevard. Flower Shop (323) 308-4784. If you are using an outside florist, please provide them with our name and address, the name of the deceased, and the time of the service. Their delivery service should handle the rest.

They are placed in a climate controlled room until we receive instruction from the family as to how to proceed. Every step along the way they are treated with the utmost care and respect.

A funeral home provides a wide range of services, beginning with bringing the decedent into our care; meeting with the survivors to make funeral, cremation, and burial arrangements; preparing the decedent for any services selected; hosting the funeral service in one of our chapels; transporting the decedent to the place of final rest; and supervising the burial service.

In Los Angeles, funeral costs range from $4,210 to $9,705, with an average cost of $5,650. Cremation Memorial costs range from $1,550 to $6,560 with an average cost of $2,825.

Mortuaries and funeral homes provide the same basic services: caring for and preparing the deceased, arranging for the necessary paperwork and permits, and hosting and directing memorial and funeral services. The word choice is primarily one of emphasis and specialty. Funeral Homes employ Funeral Directors to manage and conduct services. Mortuaries emphasis their specialty in the mortuary sciences of restoration and presentation of the deceased. Also, technically, only mortuaries have onsite crematories. However, in present day California, "mortuary" and "funeral home" are used interchangeably or in combination. For instance, our funeral home can also be considered a mortuary because we have onsite preparation and onsite cremation.

The funeral home provides services for the dead and their families. Services include: on call 24 hours a day; transfer the decedent to the funeral home; perform professional care of the deceased; consultation with family; file necessary paperwork including death certificate and permits; arrange for clergy, officiants, musicians; help with selecting memorials; arrange details with crematory; provide memorial products; direct funeral services professionally; and assist with post-service details.
