Collection: Beth Olam Cemetery - Hollywood
One of the oldest and most historic Jewish cemeteries in California, Beth Olam Jewish Cemetery was founded on the grounds of Hollywood Forever in the 1920s to accommodate traditional Jewish burial. Visitors and guests may access Beth Olam from either the main gate on Santa Monica Boulevard, or from the west gate on Gower Street.
Begun in the 1930s, the Hall of Solomon is the oldest of the cemetery’s three mausoleums dedicated to Jewish interment. A truly unique memorial site, The Hall of Solomon is one of Hollywood Forever’s most historic places. Couch crypts newly added to the Hall of Solomon are fronted in golden Jerusalem stone. A limited number of beautiful crypts and niches in our Jewish cemetery are also available in the hall’s interior corridors.
Built in stages beginning in the 1950s, the Hall of David was recently expanded to offer the Jewish community several thousand additional outdoor crypts and niches in its Garden of David extension.
