The chapel seats roughly 100 people and features windows and outdoor benches that overlook the scenic cemetery grounds.

History

Mausoleum interior at Pierce Bros. Westwood Memorial Park. Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Mortuary and Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park have been pillars of the Greater Los Angeles community for more than 100 years. Officially established in the state of California in 1905 under the name Sunset Cemetery, the earliest on-site burials date back to the 1880s. In 1926, the cemetery was renamed Westwood Memorial Park. During this time, we began serving the growing nearby community of UCLA. In 1952, our first mausoleum was built on the grounds—now there are 10 beautiful mausoleums throughout the park.

Construction of the chapel

In 1961, the chapel was built on the south side of the cemetery property. This chapel has a 30-foot white quartz wall, high ceilings and a distinctly open design that allows for plenty of natural light. The chapel can seat more than 100 people and accommodates flexible seating options.

Quality service today and tomorrow

In 1991, the funeral home and cemetery both joined the Dignity Memorial® network, which is the largest network of funeral, cremation and burial service providers in North America.

Veteran funerals and community service

We are honored to support military families and veterans.

Founded on the belief that every veteran deserves a dignified and honorable burial, the HVBP is a cooperative effort with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, local medical examiners, coroners, veterans advocates and veterans organizations. Through the HVBP, homeless and indigent veterans who have no family to claim them are identified and provided with proper military burials.

Also, each Memorial Day, we place miniature American flags on the graves of veterans. On Easter, we conduct a sunrise service for our Christian families.

"Pierce Bros. showed incredible respect and kindness as we went through the planning process. They took the time to fully explain everything to us so we could understand what documents we were signing and what elements of the service we would need to discuss. They were very thoughtful in how they treated us, from providing recommendations for certain elements and being super accommodating for our services. We especially appreciated their accommodations to letting us hold a Catholic body blessing; their consideration of this service allowed us the opportunity to spend time with our loved one. What we found especially touching was during the encasing the urn in a niche. The staff let us take our time to give our last goodbyes to our departed loved one, and were very considerate of the whole process. Overall, we are immensely thankful to have had Pierce Bros. help us plan and set up our service. They gave us peace of mind and eased the pressure of planning. Thank you."
