The Latest Buzz

Grand View Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif., has been closed for regular business since June 13, 2006 and remains under a preservation order by the court.  Although it is anticipated that the cemetery will be restored to normal operations under new ownership in the future, it is not known exactly when that will happen, pending the outcome of various legal and government actions. In the meantime, Grand View is opened for limited public visitations from 12-4pm on specific court-ordered dates.  This is a volunteer website created to provide the public with up-to-date information about these dates as well as background information about the cemetery's history and news coverage of the on-going cases.

Visitations are staffed by volunteers who are there to make a positive difference by opening the cemetery for loved ones and assisting the public in finding graves only. We do not represent the cemetery. If you have specific legal questions pertaining to your individual situation or concerns and grievances about the cemetery in general, please contact your attorney in this action or the California State Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. Thanks! :)

April 26, 2009 -- I got to meet Grand View Family member Bill Georgi today when he came in from Rialto to visit his parents' in the Garden of Eternity. What a treat! We've corresponded for two years about the goings on at Grand View, so it was a wonderful surprise when he showed up this afternoon and I could give him an in-person hug. Thanks, Bill, for all your kind words for the volunteers today and always ~ we appreciate your appreciation!
