Dead In LA: Westwood Village Memorial Park

Editors Award Winner
Editor's Award Winner

This quiz has received an Editor's Award for excellent content. Only the most unique and well written quizzes are eligible for this award.


DeadInLAWestwoodVillageMemorialPark Photo The full name of this Los Angeles burial ground was too long to fit in its entirety in the title to this quiz; however, as can be seen from the image introducing this quiz, this cemetery or "memorial park" is formally Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary.

Although Westwood Village is called a "memorial park", it is not related to the Forest Lawn memorial parks, with which it now is a competitor for the remains of the famous who envision eternity in LA.

Embarassingly, my quiz "Dead In LA: Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale)", although entered in the category "Trivia Experts Only", as of this date only has a difficulty rating of "4" - hardly justifying the claim that it is a quiz for experts. My Forest Lawn-Glendale quiz focused on famous folk in the film and/or television industries. Although I could easily focus this quiz on the same occupational group - as many actors and other Hollywood types are interred at Westwood Village - this quiz instead focuses on famous persons with musical careers, including performers, composers, and lyricists whose eternal home is now the Westwood Village. Your objective is to identify each denizen of Westwood Village from the information contained within each question. If this quiz doesn't end up with at least a "5" difficulty rating, I'll be embarassed again.

This quiz definitely deserved the Editors Award... yay! I found it very informative, even for the questions I had right. I especially liked your five selections for #10... it could have easily been ANY of them. I DID NOT know that Maya Rudolph was the daughter of Minnie Riperton!!!! How about that?! (I was a huge Minnie fan, and am certainly familiar with Maya from SNL.) What you don't learn on Sploofus!
