Eden Memorial Park is located in Mission Hills, California, in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. This location is a Jewish cemetery, with many individuals from the entertainment industry at rest here. Eden Memorial Park is located next door to San Fernando Mission Cemetery.
Upon my visit to San Fernando Mission Cemetery, I dropped by Eden Memorial Park to pay my respects to comedy legend, Groucho Marx. I was especially glad to see that others have done the same and have left behind some delightful mementos relating to Groucho, including cigars and some pairs of Groucho glasses.
This article does not offer a full overview of each individual located here; rather, it is a “walk” through the grounds from my perspective, highlighting places and people of interest to me.
