The San Fernando Mission Cemetery, a significant part of the Mission Hills community in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, is steeped in history. It stands adjacent to the iconic San Fernando Mission, also known as Mission San Fernando Rey de España and the revered Bishop Alemany Catholic High School.

She was raised on the Camulos Rancho, which was made famous by the Ramona pageant. The cemetery was dedicated on November 1, 1953, by Cardinal Jam Francis McIntyre.

The Catholic Cemeteries Department manages the cemetery on behalf of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. San Fernando Mission Cemetery offers diverse burial options, including Lawn Crypts, Crypts, Niches, and various cremation services. Plans are in place for future developments related to burials and inurnments.

Offering a Chapel that seats 160, reception area and visitation rooms. The mortuary specializes in providing comprehensive Catholic funeral services, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony and burial aligns with the traditions and values of the Catholic faith.
