Valhalla Memorial Park

Valhalla Memorial Park
Burbank, California (CA), US
Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery is a cemetery located in the Los Angeles neighborhood of North Hollywood and Burbank, California. Valhalla was founded in 1923 by Los Angeles financiers John R. Osborne and C. C. Fitzpatrick. The Spanish Mission Revival entrance structure was designed by architect Kenneth A. McDonald Jr. For the decorative stone castings, McDonald hired Italian-born sculptor Federico A. Giorgi, who had created 30-foot-tall statues of elephants and lions for the 1916 epic film Intolerance, and helped to craft the exterior of downtown's Million Dollar Theater. The gateway to the new cemetery cost $140,000 - about 2.5 million today (2025).
