The San Fernando Mission Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery operated by the Los Angeles Archdiocese since 1800, and is located at 11160 Stranwood Avenue in the Mission Hills community of northern Los Angeles, California, near the Mission San Fernando Rey de Espaņa. Among those interred here are several stars of the entertainment industry including:
Edward Arnold (1890-1956), actor
Ed Begley, Sr. (1901-1970), Academy Award-winning actor
The Valley's first cemetery—other than numerous unmarked Tongva and Chumash burial grounds—was located on the north side of the chapel at MissionSanFernando Rey.
This is the large memorial park near Burbank that is built on the hillside where D.W. Griffith filmed The Birth of a Nation in 1915.
This cemetery established in 1952 adjoins the original mission burial ground.
In 1837 the Mission funds to the amount of $2000 were taken by the Los Angeles authorities into safe keeping, as Governor Alvarado was marching south to punish the southern people who had risen in rebellion against what they termed his unjust rule.
At SanFernando, on January 16, a force about 270 men under Rocha were massed to arrest Alvarado's march upon Los Angeles, and Alcalde Sepulveda issued an address calling upon the citizens to defend the honor of their beloved country against the Monterey usurper.
In March, 1902, a SanFernandoMission Indian died and was buried on the 22d by the side of his wife in the old cemetery back of the church.
