BACKGROUND INFO

Rose Hills Memorial Park is 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 often see deer roaming the lawns 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 while researching my last grandparent. I then stumbled onto findagrave around 2007. 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.
