What an amazing place. I specifically went to see the final resting place of Leonard Nimoy. The girl at the front gate was very courteous and gave us a map. There were 2 services going on and I didn't want to intrude, she assured us it was ok to go in. I made sure we weren't disturbing any of them attending. I have to say this place was an awesome site. I saw a few mausoleums that I wasn't expecting for sure. Its so peaceful here and so well kept. Just amazing. I really felt very calm being here. I hope someday to return.

Spent the afternoon last week @ Hillside visiting, picnic with mom & dad. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. Dad, Ukrainian-Colombian Studio exec, purchased side x side plots in the 50’s. One for himself & mom, Canadian, non Jew, NY showgirl, actress. There were no wringing hands from papi’s ancestors. All are welcome. That Hillside had Inter-Faith as inclusion clause in the 1950’s blows me away. @ that time, people of color, Jews, were prevented from buying real estate, joining country clubs. Thank you for that. I love that incredibly creative Black architect designed fountains & mausoleum. I know parents are engaging with tons of their friends resting forever here. I imagine nightly sunset “happy hours” socializing over craft cocktails. Just as they did in my life. I designed mom’s headstone during pandemic 2020. Gracias, Emily Bryan@Hillside. I wished to convey sentiments mom wants. The finished product is remarkable. Mom is thrilled. When I visit mom & dad now, it is festive. (I consulted Chabad re: respect years after parents internments) Rebbes proclaimed I’m within my rights to signify anyway I want.) I blasted Sunset Slope with Kool & the Gang’s “Celebration” song on my iPhone. Really loud. I woke up a handful of slumbering eternal neighbors. I danced. I’d like to think the neighbors were pleasantly surprised. For sure, parents liked picnic, song, their only child pulling wicked moves. Thank you, Rafael O. & Hillside crew for letting me do my thing.

One of the most peaceful and beautiful kept places I have ever stepped foot in… the quiet and tranquility was outstanding… beautiful lawn care and attention to detail is taken care of here.. must stop at check it out.. beautiful lady at the front gate very warm and welcoming…
