The nice thing about www.findagrave.com is that you can put a picture of your Dad there (if he is listed), and "send flowers" to him, leave messages, etc. I have my grandparents listed there, and I visit their pages quite often--especially when I get lonely for them. Here are the 5 main cemeteries listed for Los Angeles (marked your best bets with 2*). The other 2 were a fire station (??) and a pet cemetery.

1. Los Angeles City Cemetery
Los Angeles , Los Angeles County ,California
USA
(Also known as: Fort Moore Hill Cemetery, The Protestant Cemetery, closed 1877; 80 interment listings)

2. Los Angeles County Cemetery and Crematory **
Boyle Heights
Los Angeles County
California
(39 interments listed; Located on the Northwest corner of 1st and Lorena streets in East Los Angeles)

3. Los Angeles National Cemetery (66,981 interment listings)
950 S. Sepulveda Boulevard
Los Angeles ,Los Angeles County, California** (National cemeteries can also be for veterans and their families)

4. Los Angeles National Cemetery (why 2 listings, I don't know., unless different street addresses)--1 interment listing, d. 1936
Los Angeles, Los Angeles County
California

5. Los Angeles Plaza Church (22 interment listings)**
Los Angeles ,Los Angeles County
California

I sincerely hope you are able to find him. :)

i dont know of any website off hand but im sure there is some relative you could ask. Find out who burried him and go from there.

He might be on findagrave.com

His death certificate would tell you where he was buried or which funeral home made arrangements. If it has funeral home instead of cemetery, you'd have to call and ask them.

If he died before 1997, he'd be on
http://vitals.rootsweb.com/ca/death/sear...
and you'd have his exact death date, which would make it easier to write for the death certificate.

The county clerk in Los Angeles County can tell you how to obtain a death certificate. You'll have to pay for it and do it via pen and paper, not electronically.

Ted's answered this for you, but I'd like to add if your father died IN 1997 he should be in the rootsweb database (not only before 1997.)

(Hope you don't mind, Ted :) )

Ask your mom?

Go to the L.A. public library and ask the libriarian to look up the information for you.

Just Ask Your Famyil Where Your Dad Where Buried
