Angeles-Rosedale Cemetery.
Like many history buffs, I find old cemeteries profoundly educational. Walking among the plots, statuary and epitaphs, you never know who (or what) you’ll stumble upon. But this being Southern California, some of the burials can get exceptionally bizarre. Here are some of the more interesting graveyard posts Dateline>City of Angels has run over the years:
- Does a bank in Silverlake rest atop a famous silent movie horse? Find out in Banking on a Dead Horse in Silver Lake.
- Where do the stars prefer most to take their big dirt nap? Forest Lawn, the Ultimate Celebrity Neverland.
- How about a campo santo that allegedly boasts a mysterious tunnel of ghosts? Tripping Out to SoCal’s Oldest Family Graveyard.
- Just how weird could a Victorian Era funeral in L.A. get? Here’s One Lulu of a Burial at Angeles-Rosedale Cemetery.
- She’s gone but not forgotten… But wait… Exactly who was she? The Unforgettable Cora Phillips.
