Grand View Memorial Park and Crematory is a historic cemetery located in Glendale, California, in the United States. Established in 1884 as Glendale Cemetery, it changed its name to Grand View Memorial Park in 1919. The cemetery was the focus of a scandal that began in 2005, during which the operators were accused of leaving thousands of cremated remains unburied. New owners changed the name to Grand View Memorial Park and Crematory in 2015 and began a restoration of the property.
Established in 1884, Grand View is one of the oldest cemeteries in the Los Angeles area, and the oldest in Glendale, California.
Grand View came under new ownership in May 2014 after legal, financial and licensing problems lead to the former owners to close the gates in 2006. The new business name is Grand View Memorial Park & Crematory, Inc.
The cemetery grounds are now open daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm. The office is open the same hours, Tuesday through Saturday.
A core group of Find A Grave Volunteers began specializing in Grand View in early 2007. They helped attorneys and cemetery representatives facilitate public visitation hours for seven years during closure period. They continue to update memorial information, fill photo requests and answer genealogy questions.
