Pierce Brothers Mulholland Memorial Park & Mortuary

Los Angeles, CA – April 20, 2026 — The Pierce Brothers Mulholland Memorial Park & Mortuary is moving forward in Woodland Hills following the filing of an application with the City of Los Angeles for development of a property in the Woodland Hills community.

The project proposes transforming the site into a beautifully landscaped memorial park and mortuary with trees, walking paths, and carefully designed memorial features, ensuring the land remains a quiet, green space for generations to come.

Zoning and land use framework

The property has long been identified as suitable for memorial park use under City zoning and land use policies. The Los Angeles Municipal Code allows memorial parks and mortuaries as a Public Benefit use, subject to review and compliance with applicable standards. The project is following the City's established permit review process, and the City — not private groups — determines whether a proposed use qualifies and how it should be processed.

Project design highlights

Landscaped buffers surrounding the entire property so neighbors primarily see greenery
Low-profile buildings
No crematorium on site
Main entrance on Valley Circle Boulevard near the 101 Freeway exit
Soft, shielded lighting directed downward to prevent spillage into neighboring properties
Primarily daytime services — an average of 1-2 per day during midday hours

Developer's perspective

"We're proud to bring a project to Woodland Hills that preserves green space while serving families with the dignity and compassion they deserve," said project spokesperson Aaron Green. "Memorial parks are among the quietest and least disruptive land uses. Our goal is to be a good neighbor and a respectful presence in the community — and this project guarantees the site remains a calm, landscaped space rather than something denser or more intrusive."

Environmental and community considerations

The project is subject to strict environmental testing, and full City oversight. Drainage, environmental, and safety requirements must be met before construction can begin, and plans are reviewed by multiple City agencies and departments to ensure the site is safe and environmentally sound.

Construction will only happen during approved daytime hours, and the project team is committed to working closely with neighbors and elected officials to ensure surrounding communities are informed of schedules and that impacts are minimized.

Next steps

The filing marks an early but significant step in what will become one of Woodland Hills' most thoughtfully designed memorial parks. The project team is committed to transparency, ongoing dialogue, and answering community questions throughout the review process.
