Hi: I have read with interest the messages posted about the cemeteries in Richmond,VA. Believe me when I say that Hollywood is one of the best maintained burial grounds in Richmond. Hollywood is not owned by the City of Richmond and is also listed on the Register of Historic Landmarks. The grounds are well maintained and kept in pristine condition. My beloved wife is not interred on its grounds and when my time comes I will also be buried there. I was born and raised just across the street from the Confederate Section and at one time or other I have walked over just about every inch of thiese magnificient grounds. Riverview Shockhoe and Oakwood are owned and operated by the Ciry of Richmond, VA which does not believe in spending much money on their upkeep. Hollywood on the other hand is independently owned and operated by the Hollywood Cemetery Co. Bernie in Northern Virginia
