Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery

Located in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles,[1][2][3][4] the cemetery was founded as Rosedale Cemetery in 1884,[5] when Los Angeles had a population of approximately 28,000,[6] on 65 acres (260,000 m2) of land running from Washington to Venice Boulevard (then 16th Street) between Normandie Avenue and Walton and Catalina Streets.

[citation needed]The interments include pioneers and members of prominent families in Los Angeles and the state.

This is where the grounds are enhanced to surround the graves with beautiful trees, shrubs, flowers, natural scenery and works of monumental art.

Next to the cemetery at 1605 S. Catalina Street is another cremation facility, the domed, observatory-shaped Chapel of the Pines Crematory.

[citation needed] In 1993, Rosedale was bought by the Angelus Funeral Home on Crenshaw Boulevard and renamed Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery.
