Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery
Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries refers to two Jewish cemeteries in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, in the U.S. state of California. The original cemetery is located at 5950 Forest Lawn Drive in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. The cemetery was originally established in 1953 by the neighboring Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills Cemetery. It became an exclusively Jewish cemetery in 1959, and was acquired in 1967 by Sinai Temple, the oldest and largest Conservative synagogue in Los Angeles. Among those interred here are numerous stars and celebrities from the entertainment industry.
In 1997, faced with dwindling space at the original Hollywood Hills location, Mount Sinai dedicated a second cemetery location in Simi Valley.
