Hollywood Forever Cemetery

This varies depending upon the family's wishes, their circumstances and religious customs. The facility will coordinate necessary paperwork and permits with the physician and the County before any funeral, burial, or cremation may occur. If expedited service is needed for religious or other reasons, families should notify the home when first contacting them.

Hollywood Forever has an on-site flower shop located in the Bell Tower near the main entrance on Santa Monica Boulevard. Flower Shop phone: (323) 308-4784. If using an outside florist, provide them with the funeral home's name and address, the name of the deceased, and the time of service.

The deceased is placed in a climate-controlled room until the family provides instructions on how to proceed. At every step, they are treated with the utmost care and respect.

A funeral home provides services including bringing the deceased into care, meeting with survivors to arrange funeral/cremation/burial, preparing the deceased for services, hosting services in chapels, transporting the deceased to the place of final rest, and supervising burial services.

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 paperwork and permits, and hosting memorial and funeral services. Funeral Homes employ Funeral Directors to manage services, while Mortuaries emphasize mortuary sciences and restoration. Technically, only mortuaries have on-site crematories. In present-day California, both terms are used interchangeably or in combination. Hollywood Forever's funeral home can also be considered a mortuary because it has on-site preparation and cremation.

The funeral home provides 24/7 services including: transfer of the deceased, professional care and preparation, family consultation, filing necessary paperwork and permits, arranging clergy and musicians, helping with cemetery memorials, arranging crematory and disposition details, providing memorial products (folders, cards, guest books, obituaries, video tributes, flowers), directing funeral services, and assisting with post-service details including death certificates and monuments.
