Grand View Cemetery


My grandmother, Sarah Goldberg, died in 1963 and her ashes are interred here. We wanted to put my father near his mother, whom he adored, but the cemetery is closed - out of business. But one can't just close the doors of a cemetery like a shoe store, so some hearty volunteers try as hard as they can to keep the place going. No one has been interred at Grand View for over 3 years. It's quite sad - the grass is dead, weeds are growing everywhere, and the city of Glendale won't take it over. So, eventually, we are going to move my grandmother to Forest Lawn to be near my dad.
