Some attribute it to the paving over of a large portion of the cemetery to extend a street car line. Some of those graves are now marked by bronze “grave site” markers in the sidewalk surrounding the cemetery. Tucked above Pasadena is a vast and fantastic garden cemetery and mortuary that has been favored by Film & TV for decades due to its lush vegetation and beautiful monuments.

Mae shows Bob a tombstone on the grounds marked "Mary Freudstein" and says she is not buried there. Indoors, Lucy finds the tombstone of "Jacob Tess Freudstein" while sweeping the hallway. Norman later reassures her that it is normal for some older houses to have indoor tombs. He opens the cellar door and walks down the stairs, only to be attacked by a bat, which will not let go until he stabs it repeatedly. Spooked, the family drives down to the real estate office and demands to be re-housed but are told it will be days before they can move.

Hattie McDaniel – One of the most notable African American actresses in Hollywood history, the first to receive and Academy Award and is a huge reason why the fair housing act was created. – Known as the Father of the Harbor of Father of the Port of Los Angeles, one can thank Phineas for Los Angeles truly becoming the port hub that it did. However, it’s his daughter Lucy that really has a story to tell. From Hollywood Stars to executed criminals; these SoCal cemeteries encapsulate the entire history of this great state. Time to visit Dracula, the birthplace of the state and so much more. If I have to be objective, I would say that I can understand why some people criticize "The House by the Cemetery" for being a film that lacks of logical explanations all the way through.
After having traveled the world and seeing hundreds of cemeteries, I can attest that this one holds up to the best of them. Located in the Ojai Valley, Nordhoff cemetery is almost all that is left of this town that originally attracted White settlers due to the area’s legendary healing and spiritual properties. Author Charles Nordhoff had written a book listing California as a healing place for travelers and it was him that the town was named after. This cemetery houses all of the area’s pioneers but it surprisingly is still an active cemetery. Don’t get excited though, because all plots are currently spoken for. In fact, there are over 17,000 people buried here and it’s a true smorgasbord of tragic histories from murders, wars, and epidemics.
I can’t tell you why I’m not a huge fan of Sacramento, the capital city of the state has always left me feeling a little…ick. However, I will always stop just so I can wander this perfect cemetery. Established in 1849, this Victorian cemetery feels almost like something from Savannah.
The pair launched the production company just as the COVID-19 pandemic was beginning to shut down studios but managed to release a few documentary shorts. As restrictions began to ease, the workflow picked back up and hasn’t stopped as episodes feature sit-down interviews with industry and agency leaders from throughout the county. Sort of a cross between a traditional documentary and a history-hopping road trip not dissimilar to Huell Howser’s “California’s Gold,” the show is crafted to give Orange County its due as a place where history, art and culture converge.
Tracking down locations, people and artifacts that played a significant role in shaping Orange County’s rich and storied past isn’t difficult, if you know where to look. Despite the challenges, Bishop is determined to make Woodlawn a place where families can visit their ancestors for generations. "She's put quite a lot of money, time and energy into maintaining this cemetery," Bowers said.
Loved ones have been reporting neglect for more than 25 years. For Celestina Bishop, the history at Woodlawn is deeply personal, as she has been visiting for the past 47 years. Broken gates, shattered headstones and desecrated grave sites are just the most recent troubles at Compton's storied cemetery, Woodlawn Celestial Gardens.
Just something to think about ot shoot the fk outta the sky but as far as this movie goes it does a great job of trapping you inside the overall feel and demented tone with the cast. I had a blast with this horror classic even if it is highly evocative of other isolated scary house movies.

Cemeteries are so pastoral that they practically double as contemplative parks.
Today the cemetery is a historical site and it’s one of the few in the state that charges to explore. Many people come to try and catch a glimpse of La Llorona, the Mexican legend of a vengeful weeping woman who’s husband was unfaithful and to get back at him, she drowned all of their children in the river. It’s said that after she realized what she’d done, she drowned herself in the river to be with them. People claim to see a weeping woman wandering the cemetery and many believe it to be La Llorona who is still looking for her dead children, just as the land is waiting for the river to return. You’re going to feel like you’re trespassing when visiting this cemetery but I promise, you are not. Located essentially behind homes, this pioneer cemetery is overgrown in the most beautiful way.
Others believe it’s because of the violent and somewhat lawless nature of the town during active burials. It’s a lovely historic cemetery that gets unusually high levels of foot traffic by tourists thanks to the bustling tourist attraction the town has become. I’m glad it has and I’m glad these early settler’s stories are continuing to get told year after year. As if I wasn’t going to feature the allegedly haunted cemetery that is all that is left of a vanished town? This brought a ton of horrific prejudice against the people in the area who often kept to themselves but accomplished things like creating the first school district in East Los Angeles County. The little town did well when the railroad had a stop there, but when the railroad was extended, people stopped coming to the town and the shops and such that were kept alive from the business started to close.
