Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery is a cemetery at 1831 West Washington Boulevard in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles, southwest of Downtown.

History

Located in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles,[1][2][3][4] the cemetery was founded as Rosedale Cemetery in 1884,[5] when Los Angeles had a population of approximately 28,000,[6] on Шаблон:Convert of land running from Washington to Venice Boulevard (then 16th Street) between Normandie Avenue and Walton and Catalina Streets, and often used by California politicians, notably former Mayors of the City of Los Angeles. The interments include pioneers and members of leading families in Los Angeles and the state.Шаблон:Citation needed

Rosedale was the first cemetery in Los Angeles open to all races and creeds, and was the first to adopt the design concept of lawn cemeteries. This is where the grounds are enhanced to surround the graves with beautiful trees, shrubs, flowers, natural scenery and works of monumental art. Among the more traditional structures, headstones and mausoleums, the cemetery also has several pyramid crypts.[7] In 1887, the second crematory in the US was opened at Rosedale Cemetery.[8] It was also the first crematory west of the Rocky Mountains.[9] The initial cremation took place on June 16, when the body of Mrs. Olive A. Bird (c. 1845–1886), wife of prominent physician O.B. Bird, was cremated. By 1913, there had been 2,392 cremations performed at Rosedale. Next to the cemetery at 1605 S. Catalina Street is another cremation facility, the domed, observatory-shaped Chapel of the Pines Crematory.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 1993, Rosedale was bought by the Angelus Funeral Home on Crenshaw Boulevard and renamed Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery.[7]

Events

On numerous occasions, the West Adams Heritage Association, in conjunction with the Los Angeles Historical Society, has sponsored a "Living History tour" featuring grave site portrayals of historic figures. In 1994, the Los Angeles Times noted that the annual event began 4 years earlier. [1][2][4][10]
