Inglewood Park Cemetery Association was formed in 1905 to address a pressing human need. The first interment occurred on July 20, 1906. When Centinela Valley was sparsely settled, funeral processions arrived on horse-drawn carts. When the trolley arrived, mourners and coffins went to the cemetery in specially designed funeral cars. Affordable crypt entombment came in 1913. The Cemetery continues building with the 21st century Sunset Mission Mausoleum’s 30,000 crypt spaces.

Cemetery artworks are aboveground and underground in public mausoleum vaults. About 400,000 people are interred in the Cemetery, including politicians, entertainers and athletes in a reflective landmark and cultured space.
