Cemeteries ~ Funeral Homes and Mortuaries  ~ Obituaries

Los Angeles County contains a large land mass and millions of folks....
So, it stands to reason that it's "Final Resting Places" are also large and varied in location and scope.
My Father, Paternal Grand Parents, Maternal Grand Father, 3 Uncles and an Aunt all rest in the Inglewood Park Cemetery.
The Volunteers who work on Requests and Photo Shoots for F~A~G do a great job.
Additionally, there are quite a few older Cemetery and Burial Records in the FS Catalog

There are three Los Angeles County Cemeteries on this Film.
The first one [Alhambra Cemetery] only has one page and is comprised of an article in
a newspaper [Dec 24 1898, Alhambra Advocat]. In looking for more information, it appears to have been absorbed by the
San Gabriel Cemetery.
This is the link for Image 957

The Second Cemetery is the Fairmont Cemetery in Azuza.
The images are really hard to read;
Images 958-963 are here

The Third Cemetery is the El Monte Cemetery.
Here is the first page and description which is very faint text.
