Arthur, you just ventured into my neck of the woods! I have many family members buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland. I have also been to Elizabeth Short's grave which is there. In fact, the last time we were there, we heard some really strange noises. How I wished you had gone right next door to the Chapel of the Chimes! That's where my own future final resting place is. My parents are there. It's a beautiful, Gothic looking columbarium that was designed by Julia Morgan whose best work was Hearst Castle. Also, My great-grandmother was one of those graves evicted out of San Francisco and moved to Olivet Cemetery. I really enjoyed this video!

Woot woot!!! Hollywood graveyards has a new video 🤘🏻

OUTSTANDING As Always! Respectfully done and packed with lots of background information as usual! Shirley Temple: I can still remember in the 1970s on Saturday or Sunday afternoon on WGN9 watching one of her many films with her talented costars like Arthur Treacher, Bill Robinson and Buddy “Barnaby Jones” Ebsen! This girl singlehandedly saved 20th Century Fox from financial ruin during the depression. Do you think they gave her free admission to any Fox film afterwards? Steve Jobs: Yep; watched the whole 42:21 of this episode on a Apple device! Joe DiMaggio: Not sure if their was anyone else as angry with Frank Sinatra and the Kennedys than Joe! Will we ever know what really happened to her? Abigail Folger: Remember as a child this creepy news coming out of Southern California about Sharon Tate and her friends being butchered! Not something a preteen mind can process at the time Joe Carcione: During am or noon newscasts, the local NBC Affiliate would air his “Green Grocer” segments. One day they announced there would be no more airings because he died! Ms. Weather Girl: It’s Raining Men was THE tune in the early 80s! The Black Dalia: Sad sad just sooooooo sad! What else can you say? Eating some Ghirardelli Chocolate at the Ghirardelli Mausoleum. Can’t beat that!

My old band played a few shows with No Use.. back in the early 2000s. Had no idea Tony died. What a trip.

For anyone who is a cemetery enthusiast a trip to Colma is an absolute must. There are 17 including one for pets. On a side note; the backstory to the eviction of San Francisco's dead is actually quite scandalous. It was originally sold as a public health measure but it had far more to do with the quiet lobbying by real estate interests desperate to get their hands on the valuable land occupied by SF's many cemeteries.

I used to get Ghiradelli Flicks at the movies when I was a kid. They were chocolate kisses that came in cardboard tube with a brightly coloured foil outer wrappers so they sort of looked like a popper. I always preferred them to the 'other guys' chocolate kisses. I was chocolate snob - even way back when.

I live in Palo Alto and there is something I’d like to say for Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Colma. They go above and beyond not just for their clients but for the surrounding community at large. My mother passed away just shy of 90 in October of 2019 and I was feeling pretty down. Free of charge, and open to everyone, Cypress Lawn hosted a support group for bereaved family members and friends. It was late fall so sunset was at about 5 pm and the group met on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7:30 pm. I can tell you that it felt pretty weird driving to a huge fancy old cemetery in the dark. But the group leader, a guy named Jeff was very friendly and helpful. Jeff had a master’s degree in psychology and counseling and his day job was, you guessed it, funeral director. Most evening there were only about four or five of us in the group and although it was somewhat creepy being there after dark it did me good. Shortly before Halloween that year free of charge and open to everyone Cypress Lawn hosted an outdoor 7:00 pm showing of the of the Disney Pixar movie Coco. They supplied lemonade and popcorn and the guests were advised to bring blankets and lawn chairs. The movie was shown in the cemetery. That seemed a little too strange for my taste so I didn’t attend. Who goes to movie night in a graveyard?

Love Aunt Pitty Pat... nice seeing her resting place... Gone With the Wind is my favorite

Music compositions just amazing 👏👍🏻

The research and scripting that go into these videos, on top of the walking and recording, is exceptional. Thank you for your ongoing efforts; these are great works.

Thanks for coming up here Dark as much as I've walked by these graveyards as a kid I wouldn't have known it had so much history ❤️

Once again, beautifully shown with dignity and respect. Much love sir

You came to my area! So excited. Now I can actually visit the graves myself! Thank you! PS. Ghirardelli chocolate is the best!

Long time fan ❤️

I know it’s macabre but to admire I think the most part of this video is the architecture of many of these mausoleums in itself it’s so beautiful yet in such a setting where it’s the eternal resting it’s hard not to not want to say that the architecture of these buildings in itself is as beautiful as the resting place but it is

I don't think it's macabre, Nadir. You have an appreciation for the beauty of the architecture of the mausoleums. That's why families spend the time and money having them designed and put in place, to be admired and to honor their loved ones.

My mother loved Tennessee Ernie Ford and would often play his albums on a Sunday after we got home from church. I grew to like his music as well. Thank you Arthur. I liked the ending.

The research you do is incredible!

When I got home from work ,I was so excited to see a notification from famous grave tour .Thank you for another awesome vlog

Hello sweetheart you're so Beautiful 😍 all the best from Liverpool UK. Xx

I have become a devotee of your channel and I am fascinated by the tales of those who have passed...some a more recent ending while others long ago...I especially enjoy learning about those actors/ actresses whom I always wondered about....thank you for your dillengence to your quests in uncovering long lost facts and information of the "dearly departed"

Vince Guaraldi wrote the music for Charlie Brown! I love it! May he rest in Heaven.

Thank you for visiting my city “at the Bay”! 🌁♥️

Thank you again for your tours Mr Dark I love the way you include the people of long time past they deserve to be remembered too and it's nice to know what they did.x

TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD *** He is family on my wife's side. Tri-City area including Bluff City, Elizabethton and Bristol!! Tennessee. She met him a long time ago, in the late 50's, early 60's. Very smart man, he was polite, and loving according to her. She's proud to be relations to him!!

I've watched these so much that I've memorized the background music and hum it constantly...

I like the music so much I ended up buying it on Amazon... :)

It's Raining Men is one of my friend's favorite song, thank you very much for visiting Izora (One of The Weather Girls) Arthur Dark

Love this episode, featuring the resting place of Tennessee ernie ford my distant cousin

When the original San Francisco city hall was built beginning in the mid 1870's [it was completed in 1899 after 27 years of construction] the first thing excavated was a massive cemetery directly west of the new seat of government. When that building was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake it was replaced by the present structure which was completed in 1915. Today the entire civic center plaza [which quickly became a popular place for workers to enjoy their lunches as well as social protests] is where the graveyard once stood with an underground parking garage now holding cars instead of caskets.

It is good that you are doing this. Some of these people have no living kinfolk, and fans are long dead and gone. Sadly, the truth is that once there is no one else around to care about it--even the Hope Diamond would be considered trash or junk. I am not saying these people were junk or trash, but they have long since been forgotten. Though you, their memories live again, even if only briefly.

Izora Armstead: “The Weathergirls” used that name in reference to their song “It’s Raining Men” and their original name “Two Tons of Fun” was copyrighted by gay icon Sylvester who Izora and Martha Wash sang background for back in the day

Wasn’t expecting Tony Sly. Nice tribute. Excellent video, as usual.

What a coincidence! I was listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford singing Sixteen Tons on the Classic Country channel on cable TV just this morning. I was remembering long ago when it was a huge hit, and how songs like that are timeless.
