Join Esotouric for an immersive time travel trip from the cemetery’s founding through the present day, revealing the colorful characters who helped shape the ethnically mixed, non-denominational cemetery and the city, including prominent families like Lankershim, Hollenbeck, Van Nuys, Bixby and Workman, and other fascinating figures who rest forever among 300,000 souls. You’ll see beautiful early monuments crafted by local stonemasons and a rare signed memorial, spot the lucky lizard, the hidden maiden and the prancing pink tiger, descend into the Chinese Shrine and visit the shores of the lost Crystal Lake.
This walking tour draws on newly discovered, unpublished documents to tell the forgotten early history of L.A.’s oldest cemetery, and is illustrated with rare photos you can view on your smartphone.
