Chapel of the Chimes was built in 1949. It has recently been renovated to serve as a multi-purpose venue that can be used for funeral or memorial services (seating capacity 60), and also functioning as a small reception or repast(seating capacity of 50 to 75, depending upon the configuration.) A hallway off the chapel area can be used to set up food and beverages by one of our preferred caterers.

We can also accommodate weddings, christenings, reunions, anniversaries — all of your Celebrations of Life. In addition, the space is available for meetings, seminars, group sessions, etc.

This building also houses our crematory, which includes a witnessing room. Those wishing to arrange for a tour of this facility, or to discuss the choices and options available with cremation may meet with one of our Memorial Counselors in the Arrangement Office. Please call for more information.

Capistrano Garden was IPC’s first implementation of non-visitation crypts. Built in the 1960s, these crypts are below ground, with memorialization in the panel garden at ground level. This concept was also used at Westminster Abbey, Sunset Mission Mausoleum.

The building that today houses the cemetery’s main office, originally served as the home of the superintendent, Capt. Lester G. Loomis. In those days, the cemetery had a crew of 17 men who did the landscaping, including the planting of trees, laying out the lawns, and measuring off graves. The first forty acres were developed in the first two years.

In the early days, the cemetery superintendent had an office in his home, and the Cemetery Association also had a “city office” at 214 Mercantile Place, later moved to Spring Street. In 1949, the superintendent’s house was converted to full office space, and the business functions that had been conducted at the city office in downtown Los Angeles, were permanently moved to the cemetery grounds.

Over the years, the offices have been renovated, most recently in 1986, and again in 1997. The office, as it exists today, is quite different from the original residential structure, but the outer walls remain the same, and one can still make out the main features of the original exterior design.

Pineview Gardens was developed with a yearning for peace, while honoring those who have served in one of the branches of the United States of America military forces. The front wall bears five bronze medallions, one for each branch.

The center feature is a sword and anvil, with a forging hammer. The plaque at its base includes an excerpt from Isaiah 2:4, the full text of which is:

“He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”

We have designed specific areas where families may purchase a group of interment spaces or crypts within defined boundaries. With an eye toward a return to the family plot, Inglewood Park Cemetery offers enclosed courts or family rooms where several family members may plan to remain together. In addition, those areas designed to accommodate large upright family monuments also have the capacity to hold several interments adjacent to one another.

The “Land of Nod” Plot takes its name from the poem of the same title, by Robert Louis Stevenson, published in his book, A Child’s Garden of Verses.

The inscription is from the poem, “The Little Land,” from that book.Our Land of Nod Plot is named after another poem from the same book.

The historic Inglewood Mausoleum was built between 1911 and 1915, and was the first community mausoleum constructed in the State of California. One of the main features of this mausoleum is its Tiffany-style stained glass windows, from acclaimed artisan company Judson Studio.

A number of gated, private family rooms grace the halls. These and other marble-front crypts and niches hold some of the area’s early citizens, as well as a number of Civil War Veterans.

John G. Bullock, Samuel Hinds, and Morton E. Post are entombed in this mausoleum.

We’re proud to unveil four new two-panel scenes of California landscapes that perfectly complement the four existing windows, employing techniques that were impossible back at the turn of the 20th century. For a very limited number of families wishing to honor loved ones most uniquely, a custom memorial plaque can be set next to one of the new windows.

The Mausoleum Del Prado was built in the late 1950s, and combines crypt and cremation niche units. In 1986, we added the Garden of Little Lambs in front of the mausolem, and added a small feature in the Chapel Del Prado.

Overlooking the Lake of Memories, Vista del Lago Family Estates stands out as one of the most unique and beautiful locations in the Cemetery. This new and innovative development incorporates both full burial and cremation options in the shade of mature trees.

Vista del Lago features 94 double-capacity niches in the Uccelli in Volo (“Birds in Flight”) Columbarium. Mounted atop the Columbarium, a uniquely commissioned bronze sculpture, handmade in Parma, Italy, depicts a flock of birds rising in flight. It also features an interior ossuary for affordable cremation placements.

This newly developed area also offers double capacity lawn spaces, family estates, and memorial benches.

Begun in the 1970s, Manchester Garden Mausoleum took 20 years to build.

Upon approaching the complex, one is struck by the reflecting pool and fountain in the patio area. Entering any of the Side Chapels, one is immediately met by an immense bronze plaque of a patriotic theme. Several of these plaques also serve as a backdrop in the main Garden Chapel.

Beneath the entire mausoleum and patio, a lower level contains fourteen hallways—or sanctuaries—of crypts. This building is one of the largest mausoleums in the country.

Notable persons entombed in this building include Flo Hyman, Curt Flood, Johnnie Cochran, and Robin Harris.
