	Westwood Village Memorial Park: Stars' Graves
		It is a small, intimate park, where the stars' graves are fairly easily located (unlike the massive Forest Lawns), yet there are numerous major celebrities buried here.
		The Westwood Village Memorial Park is a very small, quiet, well-kept cemetery, with a single circular road which allows visitors to drive directly into the park.
		To the south side of this grassy oval are offices; the northern and eastern borders of the park are lined by walls of outdoor crypts.
