William Joseph Seymour (May 2, 1870 – September 28, 1922) was an African American, holiness preacher who initiated the Azusa Street Revival, an influential event in the rise of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements.

This cemetery does not honor the deceased at all. Cemetery is in terrible condition. There is no grass. Headstones have been severely neglected. I would never bury a loved one here. It is ashamed that the dead have to buried and their resting places look like the slum of this area that this place is in. I wish there was legal action that could be taken.

I do not understand why this cemetery is NOT well kept. Every time I come to visit my mother-n-law, we water her and her surrounding neighbors. We try our best to keep her plot clean. Please do better. As the family, we don’t deserve this. For our dead loved ones, They don’t deserve this. These photos were taken this Mother’s Day. It’s so upsetting to see this place like this... it really just tells me you don’t care. Please do better. 🙇🏻‍♀️

I had the opportunity to visit the Evergreen Cemetery this past weekend. What an experience. I spent hours photographing the site, so much history to record. I wish they would restore the chapel. I differently will come back on a foggy day.

In 1926 a haunting was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department, strange voices coming from the cemetey. As it turns out a speak easy was being operated at the park serving alcohol during proibition. The cemetery is much quiter on this rainny day.

The upkeep of the grounds is horrible. It doesn't seem like they take care of this place like they used to. if the grass is cut the debris is left covering up tombstones. You have to clean and pull the weeds yourself. Believe it or not my father's stone is underneath this.

This was such a beautiful cemetery back in the day . The owners of today , whom ever they are . Have no respect or reverence for the dead buried there or their families . People that have loved ones buried there should sue this cemetery’s owners BECAUSE one of the things the family / purchaser is charged for is UP KEEP of the plot and as you can see NONE of the plots are kept which means , that the entire cemetery is UNKEPT . WHICH MEANS , BREACH OF CONTRACT PER THE WRITTEN “ LEGAL BINDING “ DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PRESENTED BY THE CEMETERY TO THE FAMILY FOR THEIR SIGNATURE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE .

Very large cemetery. Well kept and full of history. If you enjoy seeing old gravestones or want a nice quiet place to walk and enjoy looking at history, I would recommend a visit.

This was the cemetery to be buried at years ago I visit my Grandparents and uncle there. It is so sad and depressing that they do not Care about the grounds. The staff is very rude and they don't care TheJapanese section is kept up better than the other parts. It is probably owned by Japanese. I do not know why the city does not site them.

I drove by and there it was. The sheer magnitude of the headstones, all shapes and sizes took my breath away. I felt the Souls. Beautiful.

This place needs to be taken care of a bit better. It's mainly dirt. Pretty sad. The only nice area is by the entrance or near the very back. Pretty sad.

Historic Wilmington cemetery built in 1857 is the oldest active graveyard in Los Angeles County.
