Hillside Memorial Park And Mortuary Reviews

What an amazing place. I specifically went to see the final resting place of Leonard Nimoy. The girl at the front gate was very courteous and gave us a map. There were 2 services going on and I didn't want to intrude, she assured us it was ok to go in. I made sure we weren't disturbing any of them attending. I have to say this place was an awesome site. I saw a few mausoleums that I wasn't expecting for sure. Its so peaceful here and so well kept. Just amazing. I really felt very calm being here. I hope someday to return.

Spent the afternoon last week @ Hillside visiting, picnic with mom & dad. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. Dad, Ukrainian-Colombian Studio exec, purchased side x side plots in the 50’s. One for himself & mom, Canadian, non Jew, NY showgirl, actress. There were no wringing hands from papi’s ancestors. All are welcome. That Hillside had Inter-Faith as inclusion clause in the 1950’s blows me away. @ that time, people of color, Jews, were prevented from buying real estate, joining country clubs. Thank you for that. I love that incredibly creative Black architect designed fountains & mausoleum. I know parents are engaging with tons of their friends resting forever here. I imagine nightly sunset “happy hours” socializing over craft cocktails. Just as they did in my life. I designed mom’s headstone during pandemic 2020. Gracias, Emily Bryan@Hillside. I wished to convey sentiments mom wants. The finished product is remarkable. Mom is thrilled. When I visit mom & dad now, it is festive. (I consulted Chabad re: respect years after parents internments) Rebbes proclaimed I’m within my rights to signify anyway I want.) I blasted Sunset Slope with Kool & the Gang’s “Celebration” song on my iPhone. Really loud. I woke up a handful of slumbering eternal neighbors. I danced. I’d like to think the neighbors were pleasantly surprised. For sure, parents liked picnic, song, their only child pulling wicked moves. Thank you, Rafael O. & Hillside crew for letting me do my thing.
