***If you or someone you know fulfills photo requests at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, CA, please connect with me. I am looking to organize a group effort.***

2021 UPDATE - I have begun in earnest to push toward photographing the entire park a lawn/area at a time. The following lawns/areas are fully photographed by myself or others :Lullaby Lawn, Pinewood Urn Garden, Memorial Terrace Lawn, Fountain Urn Garden, Memorial Chapel Garden, The Gardens Semi-Private Estates, The Gardens Westminster Crypts, Mission View Urn Garden, Calliope Niche Wall, Wall of Heaven Niche Wall, Mission San Gabriel Mausoleum, Mission San Juan Capistrano Mausoleum, The Grotto, Cascade Niche Walls, Lakeview Terrace Niche Wall, Refuge Wall, Shelter Wall, Aki Wall, Yama Niche Wall, Hibiscus Niche Wall, Lakeview Mausoleum, Jasmine Lawn, Lilac Lawn, Lilac Urn Garden, Marigold Urn Garden, Morningside Columbarium, Stone Pine Urn Garden, Veterans Memorial Lawn, El Portal De La Paz, Ivy Lawn, La Paz Urn Garden, Memorial Urn Garden, Rose Lawn, Wistaria Lawn, Camelia Slumberland, Cherub Lawn, Cherub Lawn Ext., Nauvoo Lawn, Sharon Lawn, Sierra Lawn (mostly done), Cherry Blossom Urn Garden (mostly done), Court of Eternal Light (mostly done),...still about 70% of the park to go...

I live close to Rose Hills Memorial Park, the largest (per area) cemetery in North America. It has 225 lawns (and growing), each of which is the size of a small cemetery by itself! It is a beautiful park with amazing views of the Los Angeles area. I see deer roaming the lawns almost every time I visit and occasionally a coyote. Only about 30% of the approx. 500k Rose Hills memorials found on findagrave.com have been photographed so there is an endless stream of photo requests and markers to document. There are actually more than 600,000 interments there. I became interested in genealogy when I was in college. I stumbled onto findagrave around 2007, while doing research. After volunteering to photograph a couple of grave markers, I was hooked. I love hunting for grave locations and helping people find relatives they otherwise could not.
