Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery and Mortuary is a cemetery and funeral home located at 10621 Victory Boulevard in North Hollywood, California, straddling the border between that Los Angeles neighborhood and Burbank. The cemetery's east entrance features the Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation, the final resting place for aviation pioneers — "barnstormers, daredevils and sundry architects of aviation". The cemetery is south of Hollywood Burbank Airport. It has memorials to Amelia Earhart and others, honoring their accomplishments. The portal features colorful tiled dome and female figures stretching their arms to the heavens. The cemetery was named "Valhalla" for the hall of slain warriors presided over by Odin, the Norse god of war and death, amongst other associations. Among those interred in Valhalla are celebrities from the entertainment industry.
