Celebrity Graveland

It’s been called the “Disneyland of the Dead.”  This massive memorial park has a lot going for it to draw even the most amateur gravers to its rolling hills and gorgeous statuary.  But, it is NOT a very welcoming place for those of us without family inside its gates.  Sure, there are some incredibly famous people buried here, but many are locked away from the general public in the mammoth Great Mausoleum or in any number of private and locked gardens.  Most notably, the 2009 burial of Michael Jackson shed a ton of light on the measures the security staff will go to make sure that those without access to these corridors, remain outside of these corridors. Occasionally, one may get lucky and stumble into a locked garden when it is open, but most of the time, they’re locked up tight.

That said, there are still a large number of celebs that you CAN visit here.  Just be respectful and don’t draw attention to yourself.
