点评:Covering only 2.5 acres, Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park is a miniscule cemetery compared to Forest Lawn Glendale's massive 300-acre landscape. Located at 128 Glendon Avenue, adjacent to the UCLA campus, in Los Angeles' Westwood community, it also is difficult to locate. From Wilshire Boulevard, there is a small alley east of Glendon Avenue. Turn into the alley and drive to the dead end at the cemetery. Established in 1905, Pierce Brothers features 10 mausoleums and a chapel with a 30-foot white quartz wall, high ceilings and an open design that allows for plenty of natural light. But an understated calm prevails as you stroll through the property. No private neoclassical mausoleum. No reflecting pool. No grandiose statuary. But as many famous celebrities as you will find at Forest Lawn or anywhere else. Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon, Donna Reed, Merv Griffin, Kirk Douglas, Truman Capote, Burt Lancaster, George C. Scott, James Coburn, Carroll O'Connor, Peggy Lee, Mel Torme, Hugh Hefner, Robert Stack, Farah Fawcett, Billy Wilder, Walter Matthau, Don Knotts, Bob Crane, Peter Falk, Janet Leigh, Eva Gabor, Lew Ayers, Rodney Dangerfield, Buddy Rich and Roy Orbison.
